The Israeli regime has attacked the headquarters of Iran’s national television, known as the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB).

The headquarters were attacked on Monday. Live programming was briefly halted at the IRIB News Network but returned to normal a few minutes afterwards.

An Iranian news anchor was seen keeping composed on air as the studio she was in came under attack.

It was not immediately clear if and how many personnel had been wounded or killed.

Shortly afterwards, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said in a post on his X account that the Israeli attack on national television was a war crime.

“Israeli regime is the biggest enemy of truth and the No.1 killer of journalists and media people,” he said.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (I.R.G.C.) also in a statement on Monday condemned the Israeli strike on the television headquarters and said it showed that the enemy’s media strategy had been defeated by the Iranian media.

The United Nations Security Council “must act now to stop the genocidal aggressor from committing further atrocities against our people,” Baqaei said.
