Iran State TV Briefly Hacked by Israel with Uprising Message
Iran's state-run television network was briefly taken over by hackers recently, airing a bold message urging citizens to rise up and protest. The broadcast interruption happened during a live news segment and is believed to have been targeted through satellite feeds. The screen displayed a message that read: "Rise up! This is your moment. Go out into the streets. Take control of your future." Videos circulating online show the hacked message appearing on TV screens inside homes. One clip, which went viral on social media, showed women cutting their hair in what appeared to be an act of protest, a symbol often associated with demonstrations in Iran. Iran Blames Israel for State TV Hack The brief disruption on Iran's state-run television has been linked to Israel, according to Iranian media and officials. On its Telegram channel, the Hamshahri daily shared a video of the hacked broadcast along with a caption stating that 'hackers infiltrated state television and broadcast a call asking people to take to the streets.' Shortly after, Iran's state broadcaster warned viewers that the interruption was caused by 'cyberattacks carried out by the Zionist enemy,' claiming it had targeted the network's satellite transmission. Targeted via Satellite, Reports Say Reports suggest the hacking only affected satellite-based broadcasts of the Iranian state channel. This method allowed the message to bypass Iran's internal systems and appear directly on household screens receiving the channel via satellite. The Iranian government has not yet issued an official statement about the breach. The cyberattack came just days after a significant Israeli missile strike on the Tehran headquarters of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB). The missile reportedly hit while anchor Sahar Emani was live on air. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gulf Moments (@gulfmoments) This strike was part of a wider wave of Israeli attacks that have escalated over the past week, heavily damaging Iran's military infrastructure and nuclear sites. Hundreds of people have been reported killed, including top Iranian military officials. Iran's retaliatory attacks have also caused civilian casualties in Israel.

Iran and Israel trade missile strikes as Europe begins negotiations with Tehran
Iran and Israel traded daytime missile attacks to cap a week of relentless bombing as Europe began negotiations with Tehran in an attempt to deescalate the conflict. Israeli emergency services reported that at least 17 people were injured, including a teenager in serious condition, after Iranian ballistic missiles evaded Israel's air defence systems and slammed into a building near the port city of Haifa in the early afternoon of Friday. Israel said it had conducted multiple strikes on Iran earlier that day. After the attack on Haifa, images from the scene showed the building in ruins as people were stretchered away. Moments earlier, Iran's religious ruler, Ali Khamenei, had posted on social media warning that Israel was about to see revenge. 'The Zionist enemy is getting his comeuppance; he is getting his comeuppance now,' he wrote on X. Israel's military issued a rare nationwide warning on social media following Khamenei's post as it urged civilians to head for shelters. They later said Iran fired around 25 ballistic missiles. Israeli cabinet secretary Yossi Fuchs said Iran had fired a total of 525 missiles at Israel over the past week. He claimed only 25 of those missiles had breached air defences. There were reports of additional impacts in southern and central Israel. In Tel Aviv, after authorities gave the all clear, people emerged from bomb shelters into an early Friday evening but to none of the partying for which the city is best known. That atmosphere has vanished, blown away by Iran's missiles and, for a minority, the growing horror at what continues to unfold in Gaza where the Israeli military ordered Palestinians to flee Gaza City to 'sheltered' areas on the west of the enclave. There are no 'sheltered' or safe areas for Gaza's populations. Israel said it conducted airstrikes in Iran with more than 60 aircraft hitting what it said were industrial sites to manufacture missiles. It said it hit the headquarters of Iran's Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research, known by its acronym in Farsi, SPND. The US in the past has linked that agency to alleged Iranian research and testing tied to the possible development of nuclear explosive devices. It also carried out airstrikes targeting the areas around Kermanshah and Tabriz in western Iran, where the military said 25 fighter jets struck 'missile storage and launch infrastructure components'. There had been reports of anti-aircraft fire in the areas. 'We are strengthening our air control in the region and advancing our air offensive,' Israeli military spokesperson Brig Gen Effie Defrin told reporters. 'We have more sites to strike in Tehran, western Iran and other places.' Israeli airstrikes also reached into the city of Rasht on the Caspian Sea, according to Iranian media. The Israeli military had warned the public to flee the area around Rasht's Industrial City, southwest of the city's downtown. But with Iran's internet shut off to the outside world, it's unclear just how many people could see the message. The Washington-based human rights organisation Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) estimates that 639 people have been killed by Israeli strikes on Iran. Israeli officials say two dozen Israelis have been killed in Iranian strikes. The UK said it was temporarily withdrawing staff from its embassy in Iran due to the ongoing threat of strikes. The families of British embassy diplomats in Tel Aviv have also been removed as a precautionary but the officials themselves are remaining. The attacks on each side came as Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, arrived in the Swiss city of Geneva for negotiations with the European Union and the UK focused on addressing allegations that Iran is enriching uranium at a dangerous level. An Israeli government official said their intelligence showed that three months ago 'the Iranians had the equivalent for six nuclear bombs', but that figure had now increased to nine. US estimates about how close Iran is to producing weapons-grade uranium appear to be more conservative. In Geneva, Araghchi accused Israel of committing war crimes by bombing Tehran's nuclear facilities, having already said prior to his arrival that he was opposed to negotiations. 'It is the Americans who want talks,' he said in comments on Thursday that were broadcast on Friday by Iranian state television. 'They've sent messages several times — very serious ones — but we made it explicitly clear to them that as long as this aggression and invasion continues, there is absolutely no room for talk or diplomacy. We are engaged in legitimate self-defense, and this defence will not stop under any circumstances.' He added that he expected the Switzerland talks to focus only on Iran's nuclear program, and that Iran's missile capabilities were 'for defending the country' and not up for discussion. French president Emmanuel Macron said top European diplomats in Geneva will make a 'comprehensive, diplomatic and technical offer of negotiation' to Iran, as a key response to the 'threat' represented by Iran's nuclear program. 'No one can seriously believe that this threat can be met with (Israel's) current operations alone,' he told reporters on the sidelines of the Paris Air Show, saying some plants are heavily fortified and nobody knows exactly where all uranium enrichment is taking place. 'We need to regain control on (Iran's nuclear) program through technical expertise and negotiation.' The United Nations secretary general Antonio Guterres, meanwhile, urged Israel and Iran to 'give peace a chance'. He added in a post on social media that 'the expansion of this conflict could ignite a fire that no one can control'. 'We must not let that happen,' he said.

Hackers 'breach Iranian TV' as country's Supreme Leader threatens the US with an 'all-out' war
Hackers breached Iranian TV to urge people to take to the streets in protest of the country's government, according to reports. News site ' Iran International,' based in London, said TV channels in the region were targeted by the 'Zionist enemy' and images of demonstrations were broadcast. Additionally, messages calling on the Iranian people to oppose the country's regime were reportedly displayed on screen. The Iranian broadcasting corporation announced the disruptions in a statement saying: 'If unrelated images are seen, the reason is the disruption of satellite signals on the network by the Zionist enemy.' It comes as the Israel-Iran conflict rages on for a sixth day with Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatening the US with an all out-out war. Earlier, Donald Trump addressed the media for the first time since he called a Situation Room crisis meeting to decide whether the U.S. will join the strikes on Iran. He said that Iran 'wants to negotiate,' and he has not decided whether to authorize the U.S. military to target Iran's nuclear sites. 'I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do,' he teased on the White House front lawn. Mr Trump added that it is not 'too late' for Iran to give up its nuclear programme as he continues to weigh direct US involvement in Israel's military operations aimed at crushing Tehran's options. 'Nothing's too late,' Mr Trump said. 'I can tell you this. Iran's got a lot of trouble.' 'Nothing is finished until it is finished,' Mr Trump added. But 'the next week is going to be very big - maybe less than a week'. Mr Trump also offered a terse response to Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's refusal to heed to his call for Iran to submit to an unconditional surrender. 'I say good luck,' Mr Trump said. Mr Khamenei earlier warned that any United States strikes targeting the Islamic Republic will 'result in irreparable damage for them' and that his country would not bow to Mr Trump's call for surrender. Mr Trump said on Tuesday the US knows where Iran's Mr Khamenei is hiding as the the Israel-Iran conflict escalates but does not want him killed - 'for now'. 'He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now,' Mr Trump said. In a video address to Israelis, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed appreciation for Mr Trump's support, calling him 'a great friend of Israel' and praising US help defending Israel's skies. 'We speak constantly, including last night,' Mr Netanyahu said on Wednesday. 'We had a very warm conversation.' Mr Trump's increasingly muscular comments toward the Iranian government come after he urged Tehran's 9.5 million residents to flee for their lives as he cut short his participation in an international summit earlier this week to return to Washington for urgent talks with his national security team. Mr Trump said that the Iranian officials continue to reach out to the White House as they are 'getting the hell beaten out of them' by Israel. But he added there is a 'big difference between now and a week ago' in Tehran's negotiating position. 'They've suggested that they come to the White House - that's, you know, courageous,' Mr Trump said. Iran's mission to the United Nations refuted Mr Trump's claim in a statement on social media. In a series of social media posts, Mr Trump said 'we' have aerial supremacy and 'we' know where the Supreme Leader is, remarks that suggested Israel and the US were acting in unison 'No Iranian official has ever asked to grovel at the gates of the White House. The only thing more despicable than his lies is his cowardly threat to 'take out' Iran's Supreme Leader.' The US president said earlier this week Russian president Vladimir Putin offered to serve a mediator with. But Mr Trump said he told Mr Putin to keep focused on finding an endgame to his own conflict with Ukraine. 'I said, 'Do me a favour, mediate your own',' Mr Trump said he told Mr Putin. 'I said, 'Vladimir, let's mediate Russia first. You can worry about this later'.' The Russia-Iran relationship has deepened since Mr Putin launched a war on Ukraine in February 2022, with Tehran providing Moscow with drones, ballistic missiles, and other support, according to US intelligence findings.

Popular movement continues in Bahrain against war of genocide in Gaza
Manama – Saba: Bahrain is witnessing a widespread popular movement in support of the Palestinian cause and rejection of the genocidal war waged by the enemy against the Gaza Strip, following a series of successive massacres over the past few days that have claimed the lives of hundreds of martyrs. Dozens of people held a sit-in in "October 7" Square in the Adliya area of the capital, Manama, to reject the war of genocide and demand the cancellation of the normalization agreement with the enemy. Activists raised banners reading "Palestine is my cause" and "The enemy is violating the nation." The Bahraini National Initiative Against Normalization with the "Zionist Enemy" issued a statement renewing its demand to halt the aggression, sever ties with the enemy, and boycott companies that support it. The statement, signed by 27 institutions and associations, affirmed "adherence to the principled and unwavering position of the Bahraini people in standing with the Palestinian people in liberating their land and establishing a Palestinian state on all Palestinian national soil." The statement also called on the Bahraini government to "assume its legitimate, national, and pan-Arab responsibility by listening to the voice of the people and their living conscience, which demands the closure of the enemy's embassy and the severing of ties with the Zionist entity, which the International Court of Justice has condemned for committing genocide, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing." Since March 18, the enemy has resumed its war of extermination in Gaza, reneging on a 58-day ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement with Hamas, brokered by Qatar and Egypt and supported by the United States. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 1,249 citizens have been killed since March 18, and 3,022 others have been injured, the majority of whom are women and children.
