France to Summon Iran’s Ambassador Over Cyberattack on Store Refrigerators and Freezers

France will summon Iran’s ambassador and call for European sanctions, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said Tuesday.

A travel ban on European territory and frozen assets are among the sanctions the foreign minister says he will impose on Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, in an interview with Franceinfo.

“We will take the measures we consider appropriate and proportionate to respond to this attack and deter anyone - inside or outside Iran - who might consider repeating it,” Barrot says.

The move comes a day after Barrot accused hackers with ties to the Iranian regime of being behind an attack in mid-October that knocked out refrigerators and freezers in hundreds of French stores.
