Iran denies involvement in cyberattacks targeting France

The exchange matters less for what it proves than for what it signals: a public attribution fight between Paris and Tehran with no disclosed evidence on either side. For markets, the relevance sits in the broader pattern of state-linked cyber activity being named and denied in the open, which keeps geopolitical risk premia attached to European infrastructure and financial targets even absent specifics. Whether either side publishes technical detail — timing, targets, scale — is the open question, since attribution without evidence tends to harden positions rather than resolve them.
