Iranian state TV is hacked to broadcast a message from an exiled prince

Iran's state television channels were hacked and briefly taken off the air. The broadcast was replaced with a message from Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's last monarch, who encouraged anti-government protests.

Reza Pahlavi is the son of the late Shah of Iran, who was overthrown in the 1979 Islamic Revolution. He now lives in exile and has positioned himself as a figurehead for the protest movement, calling for a democratic transition in Iran.
