Caption: Israeli Airstrike Hits Iran State TV Headquarters as Journalist Flees During Live Broadcast. Israeli aircraft targeted Iran’s state TV headquarters in Tehran, causing an interruption during a live broadcast. The attack, which followed an evacuation order from the Israeli military, briefly halted Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting’s (IRIB) TV transmission. Explosions were heard during the broadcast, and the studio lights went out, with one IRIB staff member reported killed. The Israeli military said it struck a "communications centre of the Iranian regime," sparking strong condemnation from Iran. Iran’s foreign ministry labeled the attack a "war crime" and accused Israel of aggression. Newsreader Sahar Emami described the explosions as an "aggression by the Zionist regime" during the live broadcast. After a loud explosion, Emami was forced to leave the studio, and the broadcast was temporarily replaced with news bulletins. IRIB’s head, Peyman Jebelli, appeared on TV with bloodstained paper, vowing to continue broadcasting despite the attack. The Fars news agency reported that Masoumeh Azimi, an IRIB employee, was killed in the strike. Prime Minister Netanyahu defended the strike, emphasizing Israel’s objectives of neutralizing Iran’s nuclear and missile threats.
