Israel Strikes IRIB Live News Studio, Escalating Tensions with Iran

The Israeli military has since confirmed responsibility for the attack, with Defense Minister Israel Katz taking immediate credit and stating that the "Iranian regime's propaganda and incitement broadcasting authority was attacked by the IDF after a widespread evacuation of the area's residents." He further added a stark warning: "We will strike the Iranian dictator everywhere." This statement underscores Israel's narrative that IRIB is not a legitimate news outlet but rather a tool for military and propaganda purposes, a claim vehemently denied by Iran.
