France is officially accusing Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of being behind a massive cyberattack that disrupted refrigeration and freezer systems in hundreds of supermarkets across the country, as reported by Globes and Channel 7. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated that Iran would bear the consequences of these actions, and France is expected to summon the Iranian ambassador for a reprimand. Furthermore, Paris intends to propose new European Union sanctions against Iranian actors involved. According to international reports, damages are estimated at tens of millions of euros, and a link to similar attacks in other European countries is being investigated. Further details have not yet been released.
