France accused Iran of being behind a recent cyberattack on supermarket freezers and other cooling systems that caused them to thaw or shut down in several European countries. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot made the accusation.

French prosecutors are investigating the attack. One report specified that cooling systems at French supermarkets were shut down last month.
