The Moment Iranian State Television Is Interrupted by Apparent Hack

A broadcast on Iran's state-run television was interrupted by an apparent hack, with images of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini surrounded by flames and chants of 'Woman, Life Freedom' in the background, before returning to a shot of a news presenter. Pictures at the bottom of the screen showed women killed during the ongoing protest movement, including Nika Shakarami, Hadis Najafi, Mahsa Amini and Sarina Esmailzadeh. A caption onscreen read "Join us and stand up!" and "The blood of our youth is dripping from your claws," a reference to Khamenei. Protests across the country have been centred on women’s rights, in particular demands to eschew the hijab, which the theocratic regime enforces as mandatory.
