French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has officially attributed a major cyberattack targeting domestic supermarket refrigeration systems to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Speaking at the conclusion of a G7 ministerial meeting in Paris on November 9, Barrot stated that national intelligence services confirmed Tehran's involvement in the intrusions, which disrupted cooling equipment across approximately 700 retail stores between October 11 and 12.

The remote interference caused widespread food spoilage and substantial technical damage. Barrot characterized the operation as demonstrating "unprecedented" aggression against civilian infrastructure and warned that Tehran would face consequences for the disruption, though specific countermeasures have not yet been publicly outlined.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing an impeachment attempt initiated by Republican Representative Thomas Massie following recent midterm election losses for the ruling party. Massie introduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth on Monday, accusing the Pentagon chief of conducting unauthorized military operations in Iran that exceeded a 90-day legal limit.

Hegseth dismissed the initiative, calling the proceedings an "attack on Trump" and affirming that the administration would not apologize for its actions in Iran. Massie, a long-standing critic of President Donald Trump within the party, introduced the measure as pressure mounts on the administration. However, reporting indicates the motion has minimal chances of passing the House of Representatives, where a vote could occur within two days.
