France Summons Iran's Ambassador on November 10 Over Supermarket Fridge Hack: Hundreds of Stores Hit in October, Barrot to Push EU Sanctions
France's foreign ministry said the summoning of Iran's ambassador took place on the morning of November 10, after France accused Tehran of a cyberattack that disabled refrigerators in hundreds of supermarkets.
Reuters reported on November 10 that French officials said on Monday that Iran's Revolutionary Guards were behind the attacks, which disrupted commercial refrigeration systems across France in October.
Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, speaking on France Info television, said France would push for EU sanctions in response to what he called an attack of unprecedented scale and aggression.
Barrot said France would take whatever measures are necessary, including some that would not be discussed publicly, if Paris judged them proportionate and necessary to deter any new attacks and punish those responsible. He said France's cyberdefence doctrine provided authorities with a range of options.
The supermarket hacks, which struck hundreds of stores in early October, were among the most disruptive cyberattacks since the Iran war began in February, Reuters said. Other incidents have included hacks targeting the Los Angeles transit system in March and US water treatment plants in July.
Iran's mission to the United Nations did not return messages seeking comment on Monday. Reuters said Iran routinely denies carrying out malicious cyber operations.
Relations between Paris and Tehran have been strained for years over Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programmes, its regional activities and the detention of several French nationals. Ties deteriorated again over the summer after Iran arrested and later expelled two French diplomats, and France responded by expelling Iranian diplomats.
