Iran blames Israel for hacking state TV broadcast with calls for uprising

[IsraelTimes] Transmission interrupted with footage from 2022 women’s protests against the regime; state broadcaster later warns viewers that ‘Zionist enemy’ is disrupting satellite service

Iranian media said Wednesday that Israel briefly hacked the state television broadcast, airing footage of women’s protests and urging people to take to the streets.
…which does not mean that it was Israel that dunnit…
On its Telegram channel, the Hamshahri daily newspaper shared a video of the brief disruption with a text saying “hackers infiltrated state television and broadcast a call asking people to take to the streets.”

Iran’s state television later warned viewers that this was “due to cyberattacks carried out by the Zionist enemy that is disrupting the satellite transmission.”

Israel’s United Nations spokesperson Jonathan Harounoff also shared a clip of the television disruption.

The clip apparently contained footage from 2022 during mass protests against the government over the death of Mahsa Amini, a woman held by the country’s morality police.

It came as Iran limited internet service, claiming Israel was using the medium for military purposes.

Earlier Wednesday, Israel had hit Iran’s police headquarters in Tehran, as the IDF kept up heavy strikes across the Islamic Republic on the sixth day of fighting between the two countries, and as thousands continued to flee the Iranian capital.

Jets “destroyed the headquarters of the Iranian regime’s internal security, the main arm of the Iranian dictator’s oppression,” Defense Minister Israel Katz said.

And on Monday, Israel bombed Iran’s state broadcaster building in Tehran in the middle of a transmission, sending Sahar Emami, an anchor at the Islamic Republic of Iran News Network, hurrying off-camera as the screen behind her cut out.

Israeli media pundits have noted that some of Israel’s bombing runs in Iran are destroying the state’s symbols of power and its ability to govern, a move that would pave the way for an uprising against the regime.
