Iran rejects French cyberattack accusations amid mounting security tensions

Tehran has dismissed allegations by France that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps conducted cyberattacks against supermarket cooling systems across France. Iran’s foreign ministry called the accusations "unfounded and malicious," asserting that Paris is attempting to distract from its own regional policies and internal weaknesses.

The diplomatic row occurs alongside reports of unexplained explosions across southern Iran, including Qeshm Island, Jask, Sirik, and Bandar Abbas, for which Iranian authorities have offered no official explanation. Concurrently, US Central Command announced the formation of a Florida-based task force aimed at interdicting Iranian smuggling of weapons and dual-use technology across land borders and the Caspian Sea. Meanwhile, human rights organizations continue to document the suppression of anti-government demonstrators by Iranian security forces.
