On Monday, March 14, at 9:30 am Tehran time, dozens of websites belonging to the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance were defaced to show photos of Iranian Resistance leader Massoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). The webpages also contained a crossed-out picture of Iranian regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei and written slogans “Death to Khamenei. Viva Rajavi.”
According to reports, by 11 am, 64 websites had been defaced and shut down. Also, at least 77 servers and 280 devices belonging to the Ministry of Culture were out of service.

“Death to Khamenei!” and “Viva Rajavi!”
The incident comes a few weeks after a major disruption at more than a dozen state-run TV and radio stations, in which footage of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi were aired along with audio slogans of “Death to Khamenei!” and “Viva Rajavi!”
Reports from inside the regime indicate that more than 600 TV and radio servers were offline and destroyed during the disruption.
“More than 400 TV and radio servers were offline and completely destroyed,” according to sources providing reports from inside Iran’s TV and radio networks.
“Footage related to the MEK were suddenly aired at 3 pm local time on 14 TV and 13 radio stations, and we were caught off guard,” according to reports from inside the regime.
It took the regime several weeks to recover from the attack and its programming to return to its normal procedure.
At the same time, anti-regime slogans are being regularly played at public places in large cities across Iran, including Mashhad, Tehran, Karaj, Shahriar, and Kermanshah.
