Tehran/Jerusalem: In a fresh escalation of hostilities, Israel launched a missile strike on a building in Iran reportedly housing a major news channel. The incident occurred while a female anchor was presenting a live news bulletin. As the missile hit the structure, the anchor was seen fleeing in panic, and power was immediately disrupted. The dramatic footage has since gone viral on social media, drawing global attention to the ongoing conflict.
This strike follows a series of intensified Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure in recent days. According to reports, key Iranian nuclear scientists and senior military officials were killed in earlier strikes. Israeli warplanes have specifically targeted Tehran and critical assets such as oil refineries and natural gas facilities.

They claim the military action is intended to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions, which Tel Aviv views as an existential risk.
