Israel Bombs Iran State TV While Live On Air — Anchor Flees Set as Strike Captured in Shocking Video
Mediaite ^ | June 16, 2025 | David Gilmour

Israeli strikes on the headquarters of Iran’s state broadcaster, IRIB, in Tehran on Monday were captured during a live broadcast as shocking footage showed the anchor fleeing the studio while debris fell from the ceiling.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had issued an evacuation warning to citizens ahead of the strike, targeting what Israeli officials described as a hub of Iranian propaganda.

Defense Minister Israel Katz wrote in a statement: “The Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappear.”

Tehran has yet to release a full statement on casualties or damage, but images circulating online show heavy destruction around the IRIB building. Footage showed the building on fire and billowing smoke as a journalist delivered his report from outside the building with blood visible on his hands and arms.

The strike comes as the conflict between Israel and Iran has entered its fourth day, with both sides intensifying their assaults. Overnight, Iranian forces targeted an Israeli oil refinery, causing damage to parts of the country’s power grid. Explosions rocked several areas in Israel, striking residential buildings.

That clip is going to be a much re-run classic.

Actually is like the scene in Patton where the general is assured by the smirking guy that “The situation is under control now. You won’t be seeing any German planes daring to come near us any longer.”
Followed by the strafing and low flyovers by German planes.

RE: That’s one way to shut her up.

Should I say The View, MSNBC and CNN could use a little shutting up like that? Guess it’s not nice.

If Israel isn’t careful, Iran will drop its customary restraint, and it’ll be No More Mr. Nice Guy.

Iran has never played the “Mr. Nice Guy”. Stop with the bs, it doesn’t help.

Propaganda mobilizes the population—it should be and is an early target in any war.

The US (domestic enemy) media is insufferable - they've been playing that on TV prefaced with "we want to warn our viewers some images in this video may be disturbing" - to whom? Islamonuts might "find" it upsetting, but if find it hilarious as hell.
