Benjamin Haddad, France's Minister of European Affairs, says that after the ground cyber attack on the refrigerators in the country, the sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran will be lifted.
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.
Jean-Noel Barrow, the French foreign minister, described this ground attack as "unprecedented in terms of the scope and level of the attack" and added that those responsible for this action will face sanctions.
On Monday, November 9, the French government blamed the Revolutionary Guards for the cyber attacks.
Subsequently, France summoned the Iranian ambassador on Tuesday morning, November 10, in response to the "ground cyber attack of the Revolutionary Guards".
Iran described this accusation as a "contribution" to the "distortion of public opinion" in France.
