Following a possible cyber attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, several television networks broadcasting via the Badr or Arabsat satellites were hacked for a few minutes, replacing regular programming with videos of protests during the "Iranian National Revolution" and a message from Prince Reza Pahlavi.

Update:
One of the managers of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, in an interview with the Tasnim news agency, rejected the notion of a cyber attack on the organization, describing the incident as a "signal war."

Tasnim news agency wrote: "The incident last night essentially had no cyber nature; rather, it was a type of signal war. This means that the satellite we use as a signal carrier was targeted for sending a disruptive and powerful signal."
He stated that a powerful disruptive signal was sent from outside the country on the same frequency, causing the disturbance. According to him, the company Intelsat was also involved in this issue.
He explained: While the signal from the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting was being transmitted, a disruptive carrier from a point outside the country sent a high-power signal on the same frequency. When the power of this disruptive signal increases, its transmitted content replaces our original content.
