Tehran: Israeli missile attack hits Iranian State TV Station; Anchor walks off mid-broadcast
In a dramatic escalation of tensions, Iran has accused Israel of launching a missile strike on its state-run television station in Tehran. The attack reportedly occurred during a live news broadcast, with a video shared by Al Jazeera showing the news anchor abruptly leaving her seat as the situation unfolded.
This incident took place on the fourth day of intense clashes between Iran and Israel, with both nations exchanging multiple strikes in recent days. Explosions were heard across the Iranian capital following the reported attack.
According to Iranian state media, the missile strike on the TV station was part of a larger offensive carried out by Israel on Tehran, which marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
In response, Iranian military forces have issued an alert to residents of Tel Aviv, warning them to evacuate as a precaution. The warning follows a series of retaliatory threats by Iran after the attack.
Reports emerging from Iran suggest that over 220 people have been killed in the latest wave of Israeli strikes. Among the victims, at least 70 are said to be women and children.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
