French foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hacking cell known as Shahid Kaveh carried out a coordinated cyberattack that raised the temperature settings of supermarket refrigeration units across Europe. Barrot had earlier told officials that the IRGC was behind the intrusion and that French prosecutors had sought international arrest warrants for the unit’s leader and deputies. France also opened a criminal probe and said it was weighing sanctions, including bans and asset freezes, against the Iranian group.

Résumé

Two claims were confirmed: French officials stated on November 9, 2026, that Iran was responsible for a cyber operation damaging refrigeration units at hundreds of stores, and on November 10, 2026, France attributed a coordinated cyberattack raising supermarket refrigerator temperatures in Europe to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hacking cell named Shahid Kaveh. Two claims were partially confirmed: French authorities said hackers linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard sabotaged refrigeration in approximately 700 supermarkets, and that on November 9, 2026, an investigation was opened with international arrest warrants sought for leaders of an Iranian Revolutionary Guard cyber unit after the alleged hacking of supermarket refrigeration systems. No claims were refuted or lacked sufficient evidence.
