French Foreign Minister Barrot said that an investigation into the fridge hack was still underway and that Iran's ambassador to France would be summoned.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said Monday that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was behind a series of attacks targeting French supermarket fridges last month.
Speaking after a G7 ministerial in Paris, Barrot said that an investigation was still underway and that Iran's ambassador to France would be summoned.
The attack targeted thousands of refrigeration units across at least 350 French supermarkets. Stores belonging to Carrefour, Monoprix, Intermarché and Coopérative U were among those hit when attackers manually overrode fridge temperatures.
