Monitors at an airport in Iran were reportedly hacked Thursday in protest of the Iranian government and the cost of its regional interventionism.
The messages on the screens at Mashhad’s airport denounced “wasting Iranians’ lives and financial resources in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC),” according to Radio Farda.
The IRGC, an elite unit, plays a central role in Iran’s support for Syria’s President Bashar Assad, as well as terror groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
During a wave of government protests in December and January in which protesters vented anger at high unemployment and official corruption, many demonstrators protested against the IRGC’s massive budget, its costly interventions across the region, and against the supreme leader himself.
