Iran State TV Satellite Transmission Hijacked to Broadcast Exiled Crown Prince's Appeal

Iran's state television satellite transmission was briefly hijacked by anti-regime hackers who broadcast messages urging renewed protests and aired a video appeal from exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. The unauthorized broadcast lasted about 10 minutes and included calls for Iranians and security forces to oppose the government. This incident occurs amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran following crackdowns on protesters and U.S. military movements toward the Middle East.
