France formally accuses Iran of cyberattacks on supermarket cooling systems

France has formally accused Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of executing recent cyberattacks on commercial refrigeration networks across the country.

Speaking at a press conference, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated that government intelligence services confirmed Tehran's involvement. The attacks targeted cooling systems at approximately 700 supermarkets as well as several blood donation facilities, remotely altering temperature settings to spoil food supplies and medical inventory.

Barrot characterized the sabotage as "unprecedented both in scale and level of aggression," adding that Tehran would face consequences for the operation. French authorities have indicated they will pursue international arrest warrants for the operatives involved in the breach, which resulted in millions of euros in financial damages.
