Iran state TV accuses BBC of hacking website

Iran\'s state TV is charging the BBC with hacking its website to change the results of a poll about Iran\'s nuclear program. The British broadcaster\'s Farsi language service reported that the poll showed 63 percent of those who took part favored halting uranium enrichment in exchange for an end to Western economic sanctions. The TV report Wednesday said the actual figure was 24 percent, and the rest favored retaliation against the West with measures like closing the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a key to exporting oil from the Gulf. The West suspects Iran may be aiming to produce nuclear weapons. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes like energy production. There was no immediate comment from the BBC. The poll was taken off Iran TV\'s website on Tuesday.
