Hackers Breach Iran State TV to Air Exiled Prince's Protest Call

What happened: Opposition hackers hijacked Iran's state television broadcasts Sunday night at 9:30 p.m. for approximately ten minutes, airing footage of anti-regime protests and exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi urging Iranians to protest and military forces to side with the people. The breach reached millions of viewers via the Badr satellite during an ongoing week-and-a-half internet blackout.
Why it matters: The hack broke through Iran's information blackout to reach millions with forbidden protest footage and calls to revolt, potentially undermining regime control and influencing military morale amid mass demonstrations that have reportedly killed thousands and resulted in over 24,000 arrests. The breach demonstrates technology's power to circumvent authoritarian censorship during critical moments of civil unrest.

What happened: Jake Lang, a Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by President Trump, led a small pro-ICE rally in downtown Minneapolis on Saturday that was overwhelmed by hundreds of counter-protesters who threw water balloons and snowballs in sub-zero temperatures. Lang later claimed he was stabbed during the confrontation, though Minneapolis police say no official report has been filed.
Why it matters: The clash reflects escalating tensions in Minneapolis after over 2,000 federal immigration agents flooded the Twin Cities following the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of resident Renee Good by an ICE officer. Governor Tim Walz mobilized the National Guard while a federal judge restricted agents from using force against peaceful protesters, as daily demonstrations continue against aggressive immigration enforcement tactics.

What happened: A high-speed Iryo train traveling from Málaga to Madrid derailed near Adamuz, Córdoba on Sunday evening around 6:40 p.m., crossed onto an adjacent track, and collided with an oncoming Renfe train heading to Huelva. At least 21 people died and 73 were injured, with 25 seriously wounded and taken to six hospitals.
What it means: All high-speed rail services between Madrid and Andalusia have been suspended through at least Monday, disrupting travel for thousands. The cause remains under investigation, with officials calling it unusual since the crash occurred on recently renovated track with a nearly new train, raising questions about rail safety.

Khamenei Admits Thousands Killed in Protests, Blames Trump

What happened: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei publicly acknowledged yesterday that several thousand people were killed during three weeks of nationwide protests that began December 28 over economic hardship. The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reports at least 3,090 deaths, though some sources inside Iran estimate 12,000 to 20,000 killed during the brutal crackdown.
Why it matters: Khamenei blamed President Trump and the U.S. for the deaths, calling him a criminal and accusing America of directing the unrest as a conspiracy to destabilize Iran. Thousands remain arrested facing possible death sentences, while near-total internet shutdowns continue to disrupt daily life and business operations, with connectivity at only 2% of normal levels.

Hungary's Orban First European Leader to Join Trump's Gaza Council

What happened: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán accepted President Trump's invitation to join a US-led Board of Peace that will oversee transitional governance in Gaza. Trump chairs the seven-member founding executive board, which includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, and officials from Turkey and Qatar.
Why it matters: The board could reshape Gaza's governance and humanitarian access, but faces immediate opposition from both Israel and Palestinian militants who say the composition wasn't coordinated and serves opposing interests. Hungary cited Middle East stability as crucial for European security, while Trump reportedly seeks $1 billion from countries for permanent seats on this potential UN alternative.
