Suspected Iranian hackers have reportedly breached a senior US Space Force official's Instagram account, posting a string of pro-Iran and anti-US posts, including videos.

The hacked account belonged to Chief Master Sergeant John Bentivegna, the top enlisted guardian in the Space Force.

The posts, which included videos and images, invoked the Vietnam War and featured a late Iranian security official.

Bentivegna advised his colleagues not to engage with the hacked content and said the issue was being worked on.

This is not the first time US military personnel have been hacked during the conflict with Iran, with several incidents reported in recent months.

The hack is the latest front in the propaganda battles that have been a feature of the US war with Iran.
