Iran Orders Evacuation of Israeli News Channels After Attack on State Broadcaster
- On June 16, 2025, Iran ordered evacuation of Israeli news channels following an Israeli airstrike on Iran's state broadcaster building during escalating conflict.
- This escalation followed Israel's surprise strikes last Friday targeting Iran's nuclear and military sites, killing over 224 people including commanders and scientists.
- Iran launched missile and drone assaults on major Israeli urban centers, including the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa, resulting in the deaths of at least 24 civilians and causing damage to critical infrastructure such as a power generation facility in Haifa.
- The Israeli government, through Defence Minister Israel Katz, acknowledged carrying out the attack on the broadcaster as part of a strategic operation, while Iran’s foreign ministry denounced it as a ‘wicked act’ and labeled it a ‘war crime’.
- The repeated strikes and evacuations reflect rising tensions with both sides maintaining military operations amid calls for ceasefire and diplomatic engagement.
