(Townhall)—Hackers have reportedly infiltrated Iran’s state-run media outlets and are using the airwaves to encourage Iranians to rise up against their government.
Footage circulating on social media appears to show Iran’s TV broadcasts being hijacked. The television screen shows images of the recent protests against the regime’s onerous laws against women. “Rise up! This is your moment! Go out into the streets! Take control of your future,” the subtitles read.
The text further notes that “the regime has failed to protect Iran’s airspace, it has failed in its offensive efforts. It has failed to protect your money.”
The hackers also took the regime to task for funneling their money into its military endeavors instead of taking care of its citizens.

This is not the first time hackers have targeted Iranian state television. Back in 2022, hacktivist group Edalat-e Ali took over a live broadcast. They displayed a picture of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with the words “The Blood of Our Youths Is on Your Hands” emblazoned on the screen. It showed images of women’s rights activist Mahsa Amini and three other girls murdered by the regime during the protests.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
