## Summary

France accused an Iranian Revolutionary Guard cyber unit of attacking refrigeration systems at more than 700 supermarkets, causing fires and tens of millions of euros in food losses. Iran rejected the allegation as unfounded, while an IRGC spokesman accused Israel of staging a “false flag” operation to turn European countries against Tehran; the dispute could lead France to seek new EU sanctions.

The alleged attacks took place on the night of 11–12 October, according to France, which plans to summon Iran’s ambassador. The article also describes rising tensions around the Strait of Hormuz: Iran claimed attacks on US radar facilities in Bahrain, while US Central Command said it intercepted two drones and reported no damage or injuries. Iran has also reported tanker fires after vessels struck mines in the strait, amid warnings to shipping companies to coordinate passage with its maritime control centre.
