Hackers Compromise Iranian State TV, Broadcast Reza Pahlavi Statement

Anti-regime activists successfully hacked Iran’s Badr satellite on Sunday, enabling them to broadcast exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi’s calls for protests against the Islamic Republic. The broadcast included messages in Farsi urging continued protests, footage of global solidarity demonstrations, and support from international leaders. Pahlavi called on Iran’s military and security forces to side with the protesters in a roughly ten-minute video. The transmission occurred around 9:30 p.m., according to reports from Israel’s KAN News.
