Israeli Forces Bomb Iranian State TV During Live Broadcast (Video)
The Israeli missiles has reportedly struck Iran’s state television headquarters on Monday while a live news broadcast was underway.
The development sent shockwaves through the studio and caused the immediate stoppage of the broadcast.
A viral video circulating on social media and reposted by Daily Iran Military shows the moment chaos erupted during a live transmission.
A visibly shaken female anchor was delivering the news when a thunderous explosion rattled the studio.Thick smoke and falling debris forced her to flee her desk mid-broadcast.
It was earlier reported that at least eight people were killed on Saturday night when Iranian aerial strikes on Israel.
The deceased included four children, with more than 200 others injured, according to Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
The barrage came in retaliation for Israel’s surprise strike early Friday on Iran’s nuclear programme.
According to Israeli officials, that operation killed several nuclear scientists and high-ranking military leaders.
Meanwhile, a fresh report by SBM Intelligence has warned that the conflict between Israel and Iran could lead to an increase in fuel prices in Nigeria.
The report attributed this to the fact that Nigeria still relies heavily on importing fuel to meet local demand.

‘Up to our people’ to pick leader, Zelenskyy responds to Trump’s pledge for new elections in Ukraine
Russia and Ukraine are locked in a long-range aerial war while their armies remain largely deadlocked on the front line, more than four and a half years after Moscow’s full-scale invasion.
• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday his country could hold elections if Russia agreed to a 60-day total ceasefire, pushing back against US counterpart Donald Trump’s call for Ukraine to pick a new leader.
“First of all, with all respect to President Trump, it’s up to our society, up to our people to choose one or another leader”, Zelenskyy told ABC News in a televised interview, a day after Trump said Ukraine needed a new president who would agree to end the war.
Zelenskyy said he told Trump’s team that if they really wanted Ukraine to hold elections, “please tell Putin to give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire, 60 days, and we will organise elections”.
“We want peace, we are ready for a ceasefire, we are ready to begin with any kind of steps of de-escalation”, Zelenskyy told ABC in a TV interview.
“And if the Russians want us not to attack their diesel, their refineries, etc., we are asking President Trump to give them a signal not to attack the energy infrastructure of Ukraine”.
