Evening main news on Iranian state television.
Suddenly, a mask appears, and the screen changes to a picture of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, engulfed in flames.
Khamenei’s face is being targeted, and beneath it is a black-and-white photograph of Mahsa Amini and three other women, who were arrested and killed for not wearing their hijab properly.
During the video, the crowd’s slogans of “Women, Life and Freedom” were repeated, followed by captions such as “Young blood dripping at your feet” and “Stand with us”.
This video was broadcast for 11 seconds, then changed to a news studio, and the anchor might not hide his bewildered expression.
It is known that this cyber attack was carried out by a hacking organization called ‘Justice of Ali’.
In a post on Twitter right before the attack, they said, “We will continue to the end for the innocent blood shed on the streets to set Iran free.”
The anti-government protests, which started last month and entered their fourth week, continued in major cities across the country.
At least 133 people are currently counted dead in connection with the incident, and the government and protesters are intensifying, with the police dispatching a large number of special riot forces.
