Israeli Missiles Hit Iranian State TV During Live Broadcast
A shocking moment of real-time destruction has gripped global attention after Israeli forces reportedly bombed Iran’s state television headquarters during a live broadcast on Monday, sending the newsroom into chaos and abruptly cutting transmission.
A viral video, reposted by Daily Iran Military on social media, captures the dramatic scene. A visibly shaken female news anchor was in the middle of delivering the news when a thunderous explosion rocked the studio. In seconds, smoke billowed across the screen and debris rained down, prompting her to abandon the broadcast and flee for safety.
The strike has sparked widespread outrage and concern, marking a dangerous escalation in the already volatile tension between the two regional powerhouses.
The airstrike came in the wake of a major aerial assault by Iran on Israeli territory over the weekend. According to Israel’s Foreign Ministry, the Saturday night attack claimed at least eight lives, including four children, and injured more than 200 people. That offensive was said to be retaliation for Israel’s earlier strike on Friday targeting Iran’s nuclear program.
Israeli officials confirmed that their preemptive operation eliminated several high-ranking military commanders and nuclear scientists. In response, Iran unleashed a barrage of drones and missiles aimed at key Israeli cities and military installations.
The ongoing conflict has drawn the attention of international observers and analysts. A fresh report by SBM Intelligence has warned that the escalating hostilities could have ripple effects as far away as Nigeria. The think tank stated that Nigeria’s fuel-dependent economy is at risk due to the nation’s reliance on imported petroleum products.
A protracted war in the Middle East, particularly between major oil-influencing nations like Iran and Israel, could trigger a surge in global oil prices, further straining Nigeria’s fragile fuel supply chain.
With tensions mounting and regional stability hanging by a thread, global leaders are calling for restraint, but as the missiles fly and newsrooms turn into battlegrounds, the path to de-escalation remains uncertain.
