Iran warns France not to fall for Israeli false-flags operations
Al Mayadeen| November 14, 2026
Iranian Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesman Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbbi warned France against falling for Israeli false-flag operations, following the cyberattack targeting commercial websites.
Mohebbbi stressed that, unlike the United States and “Israel,” the IRGC does not include civilians in its list of targets, dismissing allegations concerning attacks on cooling systems as “ridiculous,” and calling them a recycled Israeli scenario intended to spread fear of Iran.
The remarks followed French accusations that Iran was behind cyberattacks targeting hundreds of commercial websites, causing food products to spoil and fires to break out.
The cyberattack took place overnight on October 11-12, targeting refrigeration controllers at approximately 700 supermarkets and retail locations across France. Hackers remotely altered the temperature and defrost settings of commercial refrigerators and freezers, forcing some units into prolonged defrost cycles and disabling automated temperature alerts. Major retail groups affected included Carrefour, Intermarché, Leclerc, Casino, Metro and Système U.
On November 9, French authorities claimed the attack was carried out by Shahid Kaveh, a cyber unit affiliated with the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps’ Electronic and Cyber Center.
Iran rejects French accusations over cyberattacks
Iran’s Foreign Ministry on November 10 rejected French allegations linking Tehran to a cyberattack targeting several sectors across France, calling the accusations “completely baseless.”
In an official statement, the Ministry categorically denied the allegations and condemned Paris’ approach toward Iran, describing the accusations as an “irresponsible and extremely absurd step aimed at tarnishing Iran’s image and obstructing its relations with other countries.”
The statement said the French government was making the accusations to “appease Washington and Israel, two of the most prominent violators of international law.”
It also accused France of having “hosted terrorist groups for decades and provided support to Israel in its genocide against the Palestinians.” The Ministry added that the allegations reflected “an example of its weaknesses in governance and inability to meet the demands of the French people.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also criticized Paris over the accusations, saying the French government was blaming others for its domestic shortcomings.
“Unable to manage fridges let alone addressing grievances of its people, [the] French government is shifting blame for its failures onto others,” Araghchi said.
“Yes, Iran is powerful. But unlike France, we do not exercise power via support for massacres in Gaza or bombings of schools and hospitals,” he added.
