Israel Bombs Iran State TV While Live On Air — Anchor Flees Set as Strike Captured in Shocking Video

Israeli strikes on the headquarters of Iran’s state broadcaster, IRIB, in Tehran on Monday were captured during a live broadcast as shocking footage showed the anchor fleeing the studio while debris fell from the ceiling.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had issued an evacuation warning to citizens ahead of the strike, targeting what Israeli officials described as a hub of Iranian propaganda.

Defense Minister Israel Katz wrote in a statement: “The Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappear.”

Tehran has yet to release a full statement on casualties or damage, but images circulating online show heavy destruction around the IRIB building. Footage showed the building on fire and billowing smoke as a journalist delivered his report from outside the building with blood visible on his hands and arms.

The strike comes as the conflict between Israel and Iran has entered its fourth day, with both sides intensifying their assaults. Overnight, Iranian forces targeted an Israeli oil refinery, causing damage to parts of the country’s power grid. Explosions rocked several areas in Israel, striking residential buildings.
