Israel bombs Iranian state TV during live broadcast
- On Monday, Israeli forces targeted the headquarters of Iran’s state-run media in Tehran during a live broadcast, resulting in smoke filling the studio and a temporary disruption of programming.
- The attack followed warnings issued by Israel to evacuate up to 330,000 residents in central Tehran, targeting Iranian military infrastructure disguised as civilian facilities.
- During the strike, news anchor Sahar Emami fled as smoke filled the studio, though Iranian broadcasting resumed from a backup site about 30 minutes later.
- Iran has suffered at least 224 deaths since Friday from Israeli strikes, while Iran retaliated with over 370 missile launches that killed 24 people and injured more than 500 in Israel.
- The incident marks an escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict with Israel claiming air superiority over Tehran and vowing further strikes, while Iran condemns the attack as war crimes and vows retaliation.
