French President Emmanuel Macron said on November 12 that there was not enough evidence to attribute the latest wave of bomb threats across Europe to foreign powers.
■ In a speech at the summit of the European political community in Dublin, Macron said that there is not enough evidence to attribute the bomb threats to foreign powers: "We cannot say whether foreign powers are behind these calls."
■ His position contrasts with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barot's response to a separate cyber attack targeting refrigeration systems in more than 700 supermarkets in October. Brut directly blamed Iran, stating: "I can confirm that this attack was carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of the Islamic Republic of Iran." Tehran dismissed the accusation as "baseless".
