France summoned Iran's ambassador in response to the Revolutionary Guards' ground cyber attack.

France summoned the Iranian ambassador on Monday morning after it attributed the ground-based cyber attack on store refrigerators to the Revolutionary Guards.

Jean-Noel Barro, France's foreign minister, told state television that in addition to summoning the ambassador and imposing sanctions against Iran, Paris will not give up any action it deems necessary:.

"We are not ruling out any option and will take all the measures we deem appropriate and necessary to prevent further attacks, including measures that may not be announced publicly."

He emphasized that France's goal is to "dissuade anyone who thinks of repeating this action in Iran or elsewhere."

Mr. Barrow emphasized that the "French cyber defense doctrine" provides Paris with a range of options. These cyber attacks, which took place on October 11 and 12 (about a month ago), raised the temperature of the refrigerators and freezers of hundreds of stores in France and caused food spoilage with an estimated value of millions of euros.
