Khamenei blames the US and Israel for the protests. Iranian TV broadcasts, yesterday (photo: official website, from the Twitter account of "Ali's Justice")
A group of hackers broke into Iran's official television broadcasts yesterday (Saturday), while Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was speaking.
For a few seconds, a portrait of Khamenei appeared on the screen going up in flames and pointed at a rifle.
Below it were seen pictures of the Kurdish young woman from Sa Amini and other young women who were killed in the hijab protests that broke out following the death of Amini in the custody of the Moral Police.
"The blood of our young men is at your hands," was written on the screen in a document published by the "Ali's Justice" hacker group, with the revolutionary anthem "Women, Life, Freedom" playing in the background.
A few seconds later, the broadcast returned to the studio.
This hacker group was responsible for hacking the security cameras at Evin Prison last year, leaking footage of prison guards abusing inmates.

The protests, which broke out on September 13, are the largest in Iran since the fuel protest of 2019. They have spread from the Kurdish region to all over the country, including the capital Tehran, although at this stage they are mainly limited to educational institutions.
According to human rights organizations, more than 185 people were killed in the regime's attempts to suppress the demonstrations, in addition to hundreds of wounded and thousands of detainees.
According to the authorities, at least 20 members of the security forces were also killed in the clashes.
