The Israeli military targets a key media facility amid ongoing regional tensions.
On October 30, 2023, the Israeli military launched an airstrike on an Iranian state television studio in Tehran while it was broadcasting live.
This unprecedented attack marks a significant escalation in hostilities between Israel and Iran, amidst existing tensions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional military interventions.
Eyewitnesses reported a loud explosion followed by smoke rising from the site, while footage captured the moment of the strike on the airwaves, resulting in immediate disruption of the ongoing program.
The Iranian government condemned the airstrike, characterizing it as an act of aggression, and called for a response.
The state broadcaster, IRIB, stated that the airstrike was a blatant violation of international laws and an attack on freedom of the press.
The Israeli military confirmed the operation without disclosing specific details about the objectives, stating it was part of ongoing efforts to neutralize perceived threats.

Diplomats have cautioned that such actions may trigger retaliatory measures from Iran and deepen the divide in already strained relations across the Middle East.
