Hackers briefly seized Iran’s state TV satellite feed and used it to beam out a message from the country’s exiled crown prince urging security forces to stop firing on demonstrators, according to footage circulating online. The interruption hit multiple channels of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting on Sunday night, replacing regular programming with clips of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and graphics appealing directly to the army and police, per the AP. One onscreen message read, „Don’t point your weapons at the people. Join the nation for the freedom of Iran.
