Israeli Airstrike Disrupts Iranian State TV Broadcast
The Iranian state television channel IRINN was struck by an Israeli airstrike during a live broadcast today in Tehran. The attack occurred in the afternoon, causing chaos in the studio as news anchor Sahar Emami reported on the initial impact before another explosion was heard.
Chaos in the Studio
Footage from the broadcast shows Emami jumping in shock as a loud explosion is heard. She quickly exits the frame while the studio fills with dust. Screams from staff members are audible before the program is abruptly cut off. The broadcast resumed later, seemingly from a different location within the studio.
Background of the Conflict
The airstrike follows a series of escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. Israel has been targeting Iranian nuclear facilities and military sites since last Friday. Earlier today, the Israeli military warned residents to evacuate the area where the state TV buildings are located.
Diplomatic Efforts
International media reports suggest Iran is seeking a ceasefire with Israel, mediated by countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. Tehran is also reportedly willing to restart negotiations with the U.S. over its nuclear program, provided the U.S. refrains from intervening in the conflict.
