Iran's state TV hacked, protest videos aired

Jun 18, 2025, 19:09 GMT+1Updated: 17:55 GMT+1

Iran’s state broadcaster was hacked Wednesday night, with videos calling for street protests briefly aired.

Footage circulated on social media showed protest-themed clips interrupting regular programming.

"If you experience disruptions or irrelevant messages while watching various TV channels, it is due to enemy interference with satellite signals," state TV said.

The hacking of the programming on Wednesday night was limited to satellite transmissions, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) said.
