Disputed · France, France ·
Iran's Foreign Ministry rejects French accusations that Iran was involved in cyberattacks in France, calling them baseless and hostile, according to Iranian and Arab outlets relaying the ministry's statement. France, as reported by Rerum Novarum // Intel, says Iran was responsible for hacking hundreds of commercial freezers across France and vows new EU sanctions on Iran. Reports differ on the targets (refrigerators, freezers or stores) and on whether the IRGC is named, and Iran says France uses the accusations to divert attention from its domestic problems.

Verification
Disputed: 2 independent sources.
Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred.
Sources contradict each other about whether it happened, where, or what it was. That does not make it false, and it does not mean either side is right.
Sources disagree on:
- France says Iran was responsible for hacking commercial freezers across France, while Iran's Foreign Ministry rejects those accusations as baseless.
What we know and what remains unclear
Each detail the reports give, by how many independent origins reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. Confidence in the event is not confidence in each detail. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
