Hackers took control of Iran’s state TV for about 10 seconds on Thursday before the anniversary of 1979 Islamic Revolution in February.

The hackers were able to broadcast images of the leaders of the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK) group and a graphic calling for the death of the country’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.

The broadcasted clips showed exiled MEK leaders Massoud Rajavi and his wife Maryam Rajavi, while a man’s voice chanted: “Salute to Rajavi, death to Khamenei.”

Massoud Rajavi has not been seen for almost two decades, his wife Maryam Rajavi is now the head of the group.
