France Accuses Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in Supermarket Cyberattack

France said on November 9 that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was responsible for a cyberattack last month that disrupted refrigeration systems at hundreds of French supermarkets. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said Paris had summoned Iran’s ambassador and would seek European-level sanctions against those judged responsible. The Associated Press and ABC News Australia reported the announcement.

French authorities attributed the October 11-12 operation to Shahid Kaveh, which officials described as an offensive cyber unit linked to the Revolutionary Guards’ electronic and cyber apparatus. The attack remotely altered refrigeration controls, forcing supermarkets to discard spoiled food; French reporting said roughly 700 retailers were affected.

Iran had not publicly responded to the accusation in the reports cited. The French action adds a European diplomatic front to pressure on Tehran at a time of heightened concern over Iranian cyber capabilities and regional escalation. The allegation is France’s attribution of responsibility, not a finding tested in court.

My bet is that the French can say, “J’accuse!”, before the gun hits the floor.

Anbd some want us to be allies with the Eurpoeans

When their own civilian citizens are attacked and they do nothing?
When did they ever help us?
They did nothing in Korea
Nothing in Vietnam
Nothing in Iraq
A pitance in Afghanistan
And theyve done nothing in Iran

• Reuters/Ipsos Poll (November 2026): 71% of Americans want Congress to pass legislation to end the war, including 51% of Republicans and 93% of Democrats.
• CBS News / YouGov Poll: About 67% of respondents state that the U.S. should end the war with Iran immediately.

So maybe the American poeple are right:
No More Policeman of the World
America First / Isolationism
