Iran TV Reporter Shouts ‘Death to Ali Khamenei’ Live

An Iranian reporter, Musab Rasoulizad, sparked controversy by saying “Marg bar Khamenei” (death to Khamenei) during a live broadcast commemorating the Islamic Revolution, instead of the usual regime-backed chants. He later apologized, calling it a slip of the tongue. Following the incident, Iran’s state broadcaster dismissed the provincial station’s director and took disciplinary action against others involved. This event occurred amid nationwide rallies marking the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, where Supreme Leader Khamenei addressed perceived frustrations from enemies of Iran.
