In the midst of a tense day in Tehran, when lives on the city streets were extinguished and uncertainty grew, another threatening incident occurred — Israeli missiles struck the building of Iranian state television during a live broadcast. According to sources, including the financial publication Financial Times, this attack has become one of the key episodes in the ongoing conflict unfolding in the Middle East. Based on information obtained from official sources, Israeli forces have begun an active phase of operations in the coming hours, urging civilians in the third district of Tehran to evacuate immediately. The Iranian state television studio is located there, and it was targeted by the missile strike. At the moment of the attack, the broadcast on the channel was interrupted — the TV presenter suddenly left the air and exited the studio, an additional sign of rising tension and instability in the region. According to Ukrainska Pravda, citing its own sources, the attack resulted from strict orders issued by the Israeli military operation — the IDF, which previously called on the local civilian population to leave this part of the city urgently. In their official statement, the military emphasized: “Within the next hours, the Israeli army will commence operations aimed at destroying the military infrastructure of the Iranian regime in this area. Presence there jeopardizes civilian lives.” This message served not only as a warning but also as evidence of the serious intent to use force to achieve strategic objectives. The sequence of events once again demonstrates the escalating tense situation and the reality where active fighting has engulfed not only the political arena but also the informational space. Many are already saying that this incident signals an escalation of the conflict, which could have consequences for the entire region and global security as a whole. As of now, there are no official confirmations from Iranian authorities, but considering that the broadcast remains interrupted and urban tensions are rising, it is evident that the situation continues to be highly strained and dangerous for all participants in this complex diplomatic and military game.
