Iranian state television reportedly cut off a live speech by parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf at 22:59 Jerusalem time, with no explanation given. The nature of the remarks Qalibaf was delivering has not been disclosed.
A single source reported at 22:59 Jerusalem that Iranian state television interrupted a live broadcast of parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf's speech mid-delivery. The reason for the interruption is unknown, and the content of Qalibaf's remarks has not been disclosed. The incident follows a previous controversy in which a hardline Iranian MP read what he claimed was a classified document from Supreme Leader Khamenei during a live broadcast, prompting the resignation of a state broadcaster manager. The current event may indicate renewed internal tensions, but confirmation and context remain pending.
