He said Paris would examine all available measures to deter further attacks, pointing to a unit of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) suspected of orchestrating the assault.
French intelligence services have pinned the attack, which hit supermarket refrigeration facilities in early October, on the IRGC’s cyber unit, a French daily reported Monday.
Paris prosecutors have opened an investigation into the head of the Iranian Shahid Kaveh group, a cyber-offensive unit affiliated with the IRGC’s Electronic and Cyber Center. The probe also names two of the group’s deputy leaders and other unidentified individuals. The Paris prosecutor’s office has additionally requested international arrest warrants in the case.
