Israel Strikes IRIB Live News Studio, Escalating Tensions with Iran

The attack came after Israel issued an evacuation warning for a significant portion of central Tehran, including the area where IRIB's headquarters is located. This pre-strike warning, affecting hundreds of thousands of people, mirrors tactics previously employed by Israel in conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon, suggesting a deliberate attempt to minimize civilian casualties while maximizing the psychological impact of the strike. Iran, in turn, announced its own retaliatory measures and issued evacuation warnings for Israeli TV channels, indicating a dangerous tit-for-tat escalation.
