  "account": "Belgium and France are investigating possible links to Iran in recent cyberattacks on supermarket cooling systems. Belgium's Interior Minister Bernard Quintin said security services have found hints of connections to known Iranian actors, while France has blamed Iran's Revolutionary Guard for the attacks. The cyberattacks, which affected several European countries including Sweden and Germany, involved hackers remotely increasing the temperature in refrigerators and freezers, causing food to spoil. Iran has denied the allegations, calling them \"irresponsible and laughable\". Belgium and France are considering new sanctions against those responsible.",
