Israel Time: Iran's Broadcaster Hit on Live TV
The conflict has significant implications for regional stability and global energy security, with the potential for further escalation and retaliation. The international community is urging all parties to engage in diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict peacefully and prevent further humanitarian suffering.
A live broadcast on Iran's national broadcaster, IRINN, was interrupted by a loud explosion after the studio complex was struck by Israel, according to Iran's state news agency, in the latest escalation of the conflict between the two countries.
The attack on the Iranian state broadcaster IRIB in Tehran was described as a "wicked act" and a "war crime" by Iran's foreign ministry, which called on the UN to take action. The strike caused an explosion and dust to fill the studio, forcing the presenter to abruptly end the broadcast. This incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps denouncing the attack as "inhuman, criminal and a terrorist act".
The conflict between Israel and Iran has resulted in significant civilian casualties, with at least 224 people killed in Iran and 24 in Israel. The US has been accused of having an obligation to assist Israel's operation in Iran, while Iran has launched its own missile strikes in response. The ongoing conflict has also raised concerns about global energy security, as Israel has targeted Iranian oil infrastructure.
As the situation continues to escalate, the international community is calling for restraint and diplomacy to prevent further violence and loss of life. The attack on Iran's national broadcaster has raised concerns about the safety of journalists and civilians in conflict zones, and the need for all parties to respect international humanitarian law.
