Sputnik: Iran’s State TV Says Hacked by Saudi Arabia for Yemen Coverage
The Twitter account and YouTube channel of Iran’s state-run Al-Alam TV came under attack of Saudi hackers, the channel said in a statement Sunday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – According to the Twitter account and YouTube channel of Iran’s state-run Al-Alam TV, the intruders accessed its Twitter account to publish false news about the death of Abdul-Malik Houthi, the leader of Yemen's Shiite Houthi rebels, in control of parts of the country. The TV outlet claimed that the hack was prompted by Riyad's fury over Al-Alam's critical coverage of the Saudi-led coalition’s airstrikes on the Houthi positions in Yemen.
In late March, a group of Arab countries led by Saudi Arabia started bombing Houthi positions following a request from displaced Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
