PARIS - France has blamed Iran for cyber-attacks on supermarket fridges in the country last month, according to reports published on Monday. The Guardian reported that the French foreign minister said Iran's Revolutionary Guards were behind "unprecedented" cyber-attacks on supermarket fridges in the country last month, and vowed European sanctions against Tehran.

BBC News reported that the cyber-attack last month saw fridges and freezers in hundreds of supermarkets across France heated up. Its headline framed the matter as France accusing Iran of supermarket fridge hacking. The BBC summary describes the effect of the attack but does not name the unit or the method used, and it does not say when the attack began.

ABC News reported that France has blamed Iran for the cyberattack on supermarket fridges last month. The Guardian's byline credited agencies in Paris, and the available summary of its report breaks off in the middle of a quoted statement about who carried out the attack.

The accounts differ in detail. The BBC News and ABC News summaries do not name a unit within Iran, while The Guardian names Iran's Revolutionary Guards. The reports available here do not describe the evidence France cited and do not report a response from Tehran.

The Guardian's summary says the foreign minister vowed European sanctions against Tehran. None of the summaries say when such sanctions would be imposed or which measures they would include.

This account is limited to the titles and summaries of three reports published on Monday, and it does not reflect the full text of any of them.
