A stunning broadcast meltdown on Iranian state television has triggered a political firestorm in Tehran, after a hardline parliamentarian began reading classified correspondence from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei live on air — only to be abruptly cut off and fired moments later.
Mahmoud Nabavian, a member of Iran's influential National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, stunned viewers during what was supposed to be a routine interview when he pulled out documents he described as "top secret" letters and internal communications from Khamenei himself. The move, clearly intended as a protest against the regime's diplomatic posture, sent producers scrambling to kill the feed.
Within minutes of the broadcast being terminated, Iran's state broadcasting authority announced it was pursuing criminal charges against Nabavian for disclosing classified state secrets. A senior network executive was forced to resign immediately, according to sources familiar with the matter.
