Iran's state television reported an attack on its headquarters conducted by the U.S. and Israel, initially claiming to continue broadcasting before losing signal.
Iran's state television, operated by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), was reportedly attacked by U.S. and Israeli forces this Sunday. The station initially claimed it was still broadcasting, but shortly afterwards, the signal was lost. This incident occurred amid intense bombings across Tehran, which the Iranian media attributed to 'sioneist-American' forces targeting the city's infrastructure.
Images observed by EFE showed smoke rising from the vicinity of the IRIB buildings, which have previously been targets during conflicts, notably in the June war that resulted in casualties among journalists. The recent escalations have unleashed a series of airstrikes, with reports indicating at least seven waves and dozens of bombings, although specific details regarding damages and casualties have yet to be officially confirmed.
The implications of these bombings on Iranian media operations and communication remain to be seen, particularly with potential repercussions on the flow of information to the public. This incident reflects the ongoing tension in the region and highlights the impact of military actions on both infrastructure and civilian life, raising concerns about media freedom and safety in conflict zones.
