France Blames Iran’s Revolutionary Guards for Supermarket Cyberattack

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has accused Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of carrying out a cyberattack that targeted around 700 supermarket distribution sites on October 11 and 12. Speaking on the sidelines of the G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Paris, Barrot said the attacks caused damage and fires, describing them as France’s first large-scale cyber-sabotage operation on its soil. He called the incident a serious threat to national interests and public security, stressing that those responsible would face consequences. “This is a serious attack on the security of the French people. Therefore, it will not go unpunished,” he said.
