French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has accused Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of conducting cyberattacks that targeted cooling systems in hundreds of French supermarkets. French officials warned that Tehran would face consequences for the operational disruptions.

The accusations occur alongside broader security developments involving Iran. A series of unexplained explosions was reported across southern Iran, including Qeshm Island and key port locations such as Bandar Abbas and Jask, with Iranian state media offering no immediate official explanation. Meanwhile, US Central Command announced the creation of a specialized task force to disrupt Iranian land and Caspian Sea smuggling routes for weapons and dual-use technology. Concurrently, human rights accounts continue to document the suppression of anti-government protesters by Iranian security forces.

US President Donald Trump has pledged his full support for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following an impeachment motion introduced by Republican Representative Thomas Massie.

Speaking to CNN, Trump forcefully rejected the effort to remove the Pentagon chief and publicly criticized Massie, describing the lawmaker as a "ruthless loser." Massie, who submitted impeachment documents on Monday morning, predicted that Hegseth would not remain in his position for long.

The public clash underscores emerging friction within the Republican Party over Hegseth's leadership at the Department of Defense. Despite the challenge from within his own party ranks, Trump signaled he intends to shield Hegseth from any congressional attempt to strip him of his post.
