The attacks, which occurred on October 11 and 12, saw fridge temperatures remotely raised, forcing numerous supermarkets to close. French officials are considering European-wide sanctions against Iran in response to the unprecedented cyber assault. French prosecutors have initiated an investigation into an alleged Iranian cyber unit, and Paris has summoned Iran's ambassador, vowing consequences. The scale and aggression of this unprecedented attack have prompted urgent action from European leaders.",
