Iran state TV says it was hit in strikes amid war escalation
Tehran: Iranian state television has said it was targeted by military strikes after a series of powerful explosions were reported in the capital Tehran.
The broadcaster said it was hit but remained on the air, adding that “the technical team is assessing the damage”. This is not the first time the network has been affected during conflict; its facilities were struck in previous clashes between Iran and Israel.
The report came as heavy strikes continued to rock parts of Tehran and other Iranian cities after joint military action by the United States and Israel.
