Israel bombs Iran state broadcaster in Tehran

Israel bombs Iran state broadcaster in Tehran

Israel’s military confirmed it bombed the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) headquarters in Tehran on Monday, knocking its main news channels off the air and igniting a fire that continued burning late into the night. Israel’s military said the strike targeted a facility used by Iran’s armed forces “to advance military operations under civilian activity.” The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) live broadcast was interrupted by the strikes, and Sahar Emami, an anchor at the Islamic Republic of Iran News Network, was seen hurrying off-camera as the screen behind her cut out.

A sprawling and modern office complex, the state media headquarters oversees several channels and is viewed by Tehran’s detractors as a key pillar of the Islamic Republic’s control over society. The building most affected was the Glass Building, the network’s central studio complex, named for its transparent walls.

The strike came hours after the Israeli military issued a wide warning to central Tehran’s third district, an area home to some 330,000 people. After the military issued the evacuation warning, Defense Minister Israel Katz said that “the Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappearing,” seemingly referencing the imminent strike on the state-run broadcaster.
An IRIB presenter confirmed that at least four bombs hit the broadcaster's compound. “The missile hit the office of [IRIB chief] Peyman Jebelli,” he said. “Jebelli was in the newsroom at the time and survived.” The attack on the state broadcaster underscores a major shift in Israel’s strategy: targeting not just military infrastructure, but the ruling system’s institutions.
