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.

Govt will bring new laws with stringent measures to prevent illegal sale of liquor: K'taka Minister
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Excise Minister R B Timmapur on Tuesday told the Assembly that the state government will bring in new laws with stringent measures aimed at preventing illegal sales of liquor.
Pitching for stricter action against persons involved in selling Chloral hydrate powder, which is used to make illicit liquor, he said efforts are being made to bring it under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
"For 60-65 years no new laws have been brought in. Because the punishments are not stringent such illegal and criminal activities are happening. Measures are being taken to bring in new laws under a committee headed by retired IAS officer K P Krishnan. We will bring in strict actions under them," Timmapur said.
He was replying to Raichur Rural Congress MLA Basanagouda Daddal during the Question Hour.
Stating that efforts are underway by the Excise and Police departments to control illegal liquor sales and register cases, he said, "Chloral hydrate powder is dangerous for humans, it is brought in small packets to make large quantities of illegal liquor from neighbouring Andhra."
He said that Chloral hydrate powder is not covered by the NDPS Act, adding that it should be brought under it.
The state government will be sending a recommendation to the Centre in this regard.
"If things don't happen, we will bring in a new law and take strict measures," he added.
