Hacktivists hijacked Iran ’s state TV to air anti-regime messages and an appeal to protest from Reza Pahlavi

Activists hacked Iran ’s Badr satellite, briefly broadcasting Reza Pahlavi’s anti-regime protest messages on state TV channels.

Anti-regime activists briefly took control of Iran ’s Badr satellite, hijacking state TV to broadcast Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi’s calls for protests against the Islamic Republic. Pahlavi’s media team also shared the footage of the hack.

“Several Iranian state TV channels carried on the Badr satellite were hacked on Sunday, broadcasting footage of protests along with calls by Iran’s exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi for people to join demonstrations and for military forces to side with protesters.” Iran International English posted on X.

The hacked broadcast aired around 9:30 p.m. and lasted about 10 minutes, according to Israel’s public broadcaster KAN News.

The hijacked broadcast urged protesters to keep going, showed solidarity protests around the world, and included support from international leaders.
