Iran Hacked French Supermarkets

On Monday, the French government blamed Iran for hacking refrigerators in more than 700 supermarkets last month, spoiling food en masse. French spokesmen said Iran will face heavy consequences, intensifying friction between the Islamic Republic and Europe.

• Paris’s public prosecutor, Laure Beccanu, said she has issued international arrest warrants for three Iranians affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
• Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot also blamed the irgc, calling the fridge hacks “the first large-scale cyberattack aimed at sabotage on national territory,” and warned that this “major assault on the nation’s interests and the security of the French people” will “not go without repercussions.”

Iran continues active measures against Europe.

• Since the Iran war started, Iran has repeatedly threatened to attack European forces directly if they contribute any meaningful help to the American-Israeli bombing campaign.
• In March, a drone from Iran’s Lebanese proxy Hezbollah struck a British base in Cyprus, causing Cyprus to press for more security guarantees from the European Union.
• In September, men under orders from Iran tried to bomb an American base in Britain.
• Last month, Germany charged two men for receiving orders from the irgc to commit terror attacks against Jewish targets.

The Bible prophesies in Daniel 11:40 of a clash between a “king of the south” and a “king of the north” at the “time of the end.” Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry identifies the king of the south as radical Islam led by Iran, and the king of the north as Europe, united by Catholicism. Daniel 11:40 specifies this war will start by a “push,” or provocation, by the king of the south. As Mr. Flurry’s free booklet The King of the South explains, Europe can sustain only so many hacks, terrorist attacks and other provocations before it responds “like a whirlwind.”
