Hackers disrupted President Ebrahim Raisi during his speech. On the 44th anniversary of the Iranian revolution he addressed the public through state-run television.
The Iranian group Edalat-e Ali carry out the attack. The group also displayed images with the slogan “Death to Khamenei”.
As the regime focused on showing its support through forced participation in parades and gatherings, the hack was seen as a significant disruption to the government’s efforts to maintain control.
The hacker group also called for people to withdraw from government banks and participate in anti-government protests on February 16th.

This hack is just one example of the growing dissent among Iranians and their use of technology to voice their opposition to the government.
The situation remains tense as protests continue and the regime struggles to maintain control in the face of growing unrest.
