Speaking after a G7 ministerial in Paris, Barrot said that an investigation was still underway and that Iran's ambassador to France would be summoned.

The attack targeted thousands of refrigeration units across at least 350 French supermarkets. Stores belonging to Carrefour, Monoprix, Intermarché and Coopérative U were among those hit when attackers manually overrode fridge temperatures.
