Iran state TV attacked in latest wave of Israeli strikes on Tehran

(Web Desk/aljazeera): Iran’s state television says it has been attacked by Israel in latest wave of missile strikes on Iran’s capital, Tehran. Iranian broadcaster Press TV says it has come under an Israeli attack.

Multiple explosions have been heard around Tehran as Israel issues new evacuation threats, warning of imminent attacks. Iranian forces also warn residents of Israel’s Tel Aviv to evacuate.

Footage aired by the network showed a female presenter live on air as a loud blast was heard.

Sahar Emami, the Iranian Broadcasting System anchor, has now returned to the live broadcast of the Khabar Network, Mehr News Agency reported.

The strike comes after a warning earlier today from Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, who said that “the mouthpiece of Iranian propaganda and incitement is on the verge of disappearing. The evacuation of nearby residents has begun”.

Iran’s state broadcaster, IRIB, is located in the area covered by the evacuation warning.

Broadcasts on the channel have since returned to normal.
