The Israeli Air Force conducted an air raid on the Tehran offices of Iran's State Broadcaster Agency, IRIB. Disturbing video footage of the attack has surfaced, clearly depicting the scene during the assault. Following the attack, IRIB's broadcast was interrupted, and the anchor in the studio was seen fleeing to a safe location.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had previously issued an immediate alert to residents in the vicinity of IRIB's headquarters. Israel's Defense Minister Yisrael Katz stated, "The vehicle of Iranian propaganda and provocation is about to end." This attack occurs amidst escalating tensions between Iran and Israel.
Reports indicate that Iran has expressed a readiness to resume talks swiftly to de-escalate tensions. According to sources, Iran has communicated through Arab intermediaries to both Israel and the USA, indicating its willingness to cease the attack and return to negotiations, provided that the USA refrains from involvement in the conflict.
Iran has informed Arab officials that ceasing violence would be advantageous for both sides. Nevertheless, Iran warns that if hopes to resume discussions with the USA collapse, it may accelerate its nuclear program and expand the scope of the war.
Harrowing scenes from the attack on Iran's state TV office have emerged, leaving viewers in shock.
