IDF Pounds Iranian State TV HQ in Tehran | WATCH
The IAF has targeted the headquarters of Iranian state television in central Tehran as part of "Operation Roaring Lion." The strike aims to dismantle regime propaganda assets following the confirmed death of Ayatollah Khamenei and top military officials.
The Israeli Air Force has conducted airstrikes on the headquarters of Iranian state television in Tehran, according to reports from Saudi-based Al-Arabiya.
This attack is part of a broader wave of Israeli military operations in the Iranian capital, described by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as targeting "the heart of Tehran" to achieve air superiority and dismantle key regime assets.
Iranian media has reported explosions in the city, though specific details on damage to the state TV building remain unconfirmed by Tehran authorities.
The strikes on the Iranian state TV headquarters, located in central Tehran, were reported amid ongoing Israeli operations that began yesterday in a joint effort with the United States codenamed Operation Roaring Lion by Israel.
These attacks have targeted a range of sites, including ballistic missile systems, air defense arrays, intelligence headquarters, and government compounds.
The IDF stated that over the past day, its air force executed extensive strikes to "pave the path to Tehran," with the latest wave focusing on regime-linked targets in the capital.
Iranian state media, including IRIB and Press TV, has been actively broadcasting updates on the conflict, confirming the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the initial strikes on February 28.
Khamenei's demise was announced early Sunday, prompting Iran to declare 40 days of national mourning and a seven-day public holiday.
Additional high-profile casualties include Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh, IRGC Commander Mohammad Pakpour, top adviser Ali Shamkhani, and Armed Forces Chief of Staff Abdolrahim Mousavi.
In response, Iran has launched retaliatory missile and drone barrages targeting Israel and U.S. military bases in Gulf states, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, and Oman.
Iranian state TV reported that 27 U.S. bases, Israel's military headquarters, and a defense complex in Tel Aviv were among the targets in the latest wave.
