Israel bombs Iranian state TV during live broadcast
![]() 842 Monday, 16 June, 2025, 20:40 Iranian state television was broadcasting live on Monday when a massive explosion rocked the studio, with the anchor fleeing her desk amid smoke and rubble. The broadcast then went dark. The big picture: Israel's strike on the state TV building signaled a broadening of its bombing campaign in Iran. But Israel has now issued several evacuation orders for civilians in Tehran, in areas where hundreds of thousands of people live. One of those evacuation orders focused on the neighborhood where Iran's state TV is located. Israel believed it had an operational window to assassinate Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over the weekend, but President Trump opposed it. Several minutes later he clarified that he didn't mean that civilians would be targeted, but rather evacuated from their homes. |
