Tuesday, June 17, 2025 - Iranian state
television was broadcasting live on Monday when a massive explosion rocked the
studio, with the anchor fleeing for her life.
The Iranian media said the explosion happened while a
presenter was delivering a live on-air criticism of Israel. Moments later, she
was seen leaving the broadcast, with footage of the incident widely circulated
online.
In response, Tehran condemned the Israeli strike on Iran’s
state TV, calling it a “war crime."
During the live broadcast, a reporter on Iranian state
television remarked that the studio was filling with dust following “the sound
of aggression against the homeland."
Moments later, an explosion struck, shattering the screen
behind her as she rushed off camera. The channel then abruptly switched to
prerecorded programming.
Just an hour before the incident, Israel had issued a
warning to evacuate the part of Tehran where the TV studios are based.
Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz said that the
““Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece were about to disappear”
Early Monday, Iran launched another barrage of missile
strikes targeting Israel, resulting in the deaths of at least eight people.
In response, Israel issued an evacuation alert affecting
hundreds of thousands in central Tehran, warning of further strikes as tensions
escalated into the fourth day of the conflict.
According to the Israeli military, the warning impacted up
to 330,000 residents in a central district of Tehran that includes the national
police headquarters, the state broadcasting offices, and three major
hospitals—one of which is run by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
“At this time, we can say that we have achieved full aerial
superiority over Tehran’s skies," said Israeli military spokesperson
General Effie Defrin.
He added that Israeli forces had taken out over 120
surface-to-surface missile launchers across central Iran—about one-third of the
country’s arsenal.
Israeli officials further claimed that airstrikes had
targeted and hit 10 command centers used by the Quds Force, the elite overseas
operations wing of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
“These strikes amount to a deep and comprehensive blow to
the Iranian threat," said Defrin.
