## Summary

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has denied French accusations that an Iran-linked cyber unit sabotaged refrigeration systems at supermarkets. The dispute matters because French authorities describe the incident as the country’s first large-scale cyber sabotage.

The attacks on 11 and 12 October raised temperatures in refrigeration units to as high as 50C at about 700 stores. France blamed a unit called Shahid Kaveh; the IRGC accused Israel of spreading misinformation and said civilians were not among its targets.
