"The time for revenge has come. The regime's repressive forces will pay for their cruel and merciless actions against the innocent people of Iran. Anyone who joins in defending and protecting the Iranian nation will be granted amnesty and forgiveness."
"For the freedom of our Iranian brothers and sisters, this is a call to all oppressive forces-lay down your weapons or join the forces of liberation. Only in this way can you save your lives. For a free Iran."
"Shortly after the first set of explosions, Iranians received bursts of notifications on their phones. They came not from the government advising caution, but from an apparently hacked prayer-timing app called 'BadeSaba Calendar' that has been downloaded more than 5 million times from the Google Play Store."
Israel and the US conducted joint military strikes on Iranian cities early Saturday morning, described as preemptive actions following failed negotiations. The attacks coincided with a coordinated cyberattack targeting BadeSaba Calendar, a prayer-timing application with over 5 million downloads. Unknown hackers sent rapid notifications to users over 30 minutes, beginning shortly after the explosions. Messages urged Iranian military personnel to surrender weapons in exchange for amnesty, join liberation forces, and defend the Iranian nation. The notifications promised forgiveness to those who abandoned the regime's forces. Cybersecurity analysts confirmed the app's users received these messages during the military strikes.
