Iran's Revolutionary Guards rejected France's conclusion that IRGC cyber units hacked refrigeration systems across the country, calling the findings a "worn-out Zionist plot," spokesman Hossein Mohebbi said Saturday.

"The ridiculous claim of an attack on refrigeration systems is a worn-out Zionist scenario," Mohebbi said in a statement reported by Iranian state media.

France accused the IRGC earlier this week of carrying out cyberattacks against refrigeration systems at more than 700 retail sites in October, causing fires and food losses worth tens of millions of euros. French authorities attributed the operation to the Guards' Shahid Kaveh cyber unit.
