France blamed Iran's Revolutionary Guards for cyber attacks on supermarket refrigerators in October that raised temperatures and forced some stores to dump perishable stock, according to AFP, which reported that Iran denied the charge. Similar incidents have been reported in at least 11 other European countries.
Analysts cited by AFP say the campaign widens Iran's asymmetric confrontation with the United States on European soil, with Iran accused of planning other attacks in Europe, including against US air bases in Britain.
