France has accused Iran of organising cyber attacks that hit refrigerator and freezing systems in hundreds of supermarkets in the country, causing damage estimated in millions of euros.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noul Barrot said that behind the attacks is Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard. He named the event unpredictable by the size and level of aggression, while announcing that France will seek to impose sanctions on responsible persons at the European level.

Last month’s attack caused refrigerators and frozen equipment to rise in hundreds of French supermarkets, resulting in the deterioration of large amounts of fresh and frozen food products.

Meanwhile, last week similar attacks affected dozens of supermarkets in seven other European countries. However, it has not yet been confirmed whether these incidents are related to each other.

The Paris prosecution announced on Monday the opening of an investigation into the management of an offensive cyber operations unit linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard. /Panorama
