Director-general of the BBC's Persian service, Mark Thompson, said the BBC had suffered a "sophisticated cyber attack", most likely perpetrated by the Iranian government.

The attacks included attempts to jam satellite feeds of the British Broadcasting Corporation services into Iran and an automated phone jamming attack that swampped lines at its London office.
