A U.S. government website was vandalized late Saturday by hackers who posted images of a bloodied President Donald Trump being punched in the face and pro-Iran messages.

The defaced website was the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) website, which makes U.S. federal government publications available to the public for free. The hackers, who struck as tensions between the U.S. and Iran heat up, claimed to be “Iran cyber security group hackers,” however, there’s no evidence to confirm any attribution to Iran at the moment, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

We are aware the website of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) was defaced with pro-Iranian, anti-US messaging,” a spokesperson for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) told media outlets in a statement. “At this time, there is no confirmation that this was the action of Iranian state-sponsored actors. The website was taken off line and is no longer accessible. CISA is monitoring the situation with FDLP and our federal partners.”
