Moshiri, who was born in Tehran, is seen in the first seconds of the broadcast making the unambiguous gesture and making an amusing face, apparently at one of the production members. Sources at the network told British media that Moshiri was unaware that the broadcast had begun and that it was a "pointless miss."
Moshiri is considered a "rising star" on the BBC and presented a financial programme for more than 16 years, before taking over to present the network's morning strip.
