France has blamed Iran's Revolutionary Guard for cyberattacks on supermarket refrigeration systems, summoning the Iranian ambassador in protest. The attacks hit around 700 French supermarkets overnight on October 11-12, causing food spoilage and fires. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot described the operation as "unprecedented" in scale and aggression, calling it the "first large-scale cyberattack" carried out for sabotage purposes on French soil and a serious threat to national interests and public safety.
French prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation targeting the head of the Iranian group Shahid Kaveh and his two deputies, applying for international arrest warrants to be issued against the three suspects.
