Iran has rejected accusations from France claiming Tehran was responsible for cyberattacks that compromised supermarket refrigeration systems across France and Europe, calling the allegations baseless and one-sided.

TEHRAN: Iran on Tuesday said French accusations that it was responsible for cyberattacks on supermarket fridges last month were “baseless”.

“Iran’s foreign ministry categorically rejects the French government’s baseless and one-sided accusations against Iran regarding alleged cyber activities in France,” the ministry said in a statement.

It added that it “strongly condemns this hackneyed policy of levelling accusations against the Islamic republic”.
