Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has mocked France as "unable to manage fridges" over the supermarket freezer cyberattack row, according to the CBS News live blog.
It is the first personal intervention in the row by Araghchi. Until now Tehran had rejected France's accusation as "baseless, hostile" and warned it would take "necessary measures" to protect its national interests. France had blamed the attack on the IRGC and summoned the Iranian ambassador.
The words are those reported in a CBS News headline. Araghchi's full remarks, and where he made them, have not been independently checked.
