Israel bombs Iranian state TV during live broadcast

SUMMARY

An explosion hit Iranian state television during a live broadcast on Monday, forcing the anchor to flee. The incident highlights Israel's expanding bombing campaign in Iran, amid its claim of targeting nuclear and missile sites.

Israel has ordered evacuations in Tehran, where many civilians reside. Since Friday, Israeli strikes have reportedly killed around 250 Iranians, while Iranian missile attacks on Israel have resulted in 24 deaths.

Israeli military gains control over Tehran's airspace, but tensions are high. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Tehran residents "are going to pay the price soon," clarifying later that civilians would be evacuated, not targeted. After a brief silence, Iranian TV resumed operations from a different location.
