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.
