Israel Strikes Iranian TV Building During Live Broadcast
Israel targeted the headquarters of Iran’s state television during a live broadcast. Journalists were reportedly killed, and the building sustained major damage.
Israeli forces launched a missile strike on the headquarters of Iran’s state television, located within Iranian territory. The incident occurred during a live broadcast, abruptly cutting off the transmission. According to Iranian sources, the strike caused extensive destruction, including to studio and technical facilities. The attack is seen as part of the ongoing confrontation between the two countries and has triggered widespread reaction.
Preliminary reports indicate that several media employees, including journalists and technical staff, were killed in the strike. Others are reported missing. Rescue operations are ongoing, with emergency medical and fire services deployed to the scene. The area around the broadcasting center has been cordoned off, with damage assessment and search for survivors underway.
Footage from the scene quickly spread on social media. Videos and photos show collapsed structures, broken broadcasting equipment, and clear signs of blast impact. The incident has sparked intense discussion both within Iran and internationally, becoming one of the most prominent episodes in the latest escalation wave.
Iranian officials condemned the strike as an attack on civilian infrastructure and a violation of international norms. They pledged a response to Israel’s actions, calling the incident an assault on freedom of speech. They emphasized that the target was not a military installation but a media institution serving the country’s national broadcasting mission.
As of publication, Israeli authorities had not issued an official statement. Israel has previously stated its intention to strike facilities involved in coordinating actions against Israeli territory, but has not confirmed responsibility for this particular attack. International observers warned of potential consequences, including rising tensions and retaliatory measures from Iran.
The situation remains volatile, amid ongoing exchanges between both sides. The region continues to see a high concentration of military forces and increased aerial and missile activity. International bodies are calling for restraint and the protection of civilian infrastructure, including media institutions.
