The French government announced on Monday, November 9, that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was responsible for the "unprecedented" cyber attacks on food store refrigerators in that country last month, and pledged to impose European-level sanctions against Tehran.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barro said: "I can confirm that this attack was carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of the Islamic Republic of Iran."
He added: "This attack is unprecedented both in terms of the scope and the level of the attack" and emphasized that Paris will apply sanctions at the EU level against all agents responsible for this attack.
