France has officially attributed responsibility for the massive cyberattack on supermarket refrigeration systems to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. According to reports from Reshet 13 and Yonhap, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot confirmed that Iran carried out the attack, which caused operational disruptions and raised temperatures in hundreds of stores last month. Paris is expected to push for new European Union sanctions against the involved parties and summon the Iranian ambassador for a reprimand. Further details regarding the investigative process have not yet been released.
