ParisIran’s Revolutionary Guards heated freezers in 700 French supermarkets, prosecutors say.
France calls it the first large-scale cyber sabotage on its soil and wants sanctions.
Attackers altered settings on refrigeration units, some running outdated firmware, and a later wave hit blood-bank cold storage.
“We rule nothing out,” said Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, who summoned Iran’s ambassador.
Barrot wants EU sanctions, which require all 27 member states to agree.
