Israel Targets Iranian State TV Building in Tehran

On June 16, 2025, Israeli forces conducted an airstrike on the صدا و سیما headquarters, a prominent state television building located in northern Tehran. The strike occurred during a live broadcast, briefly interrupting the program and causing visible disruption within the studio. According to reports, the building, known as the 'glass building,' sustained significant damage, with videos showing flames and smoke emanating from the site.

Israel has stated that the صدا و سیما was being used by Iranian forces to support military operations under the guise of a civilian media outlet. They claim the facility was directly linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an organization accused of seeking Israel's destruction. This strike is part of a series of escalating actions between Israel and Iran, reflecting a broader conflict in the region.

Peyman Jebeli, head of صدا و سیما, condemned the attack, calling it an indefensible act against an unarmed media organization aimed at silencing the voice of truth. Despite the damage, Iranian officials asserted that broadcasts would continue uninterrupted from alternative studios.

Israel claims the building was used for military purposes by the IRGC, masking military operations under civilian cover.

Live broadcasts were briefly disrupted, and the building sustained significant damage.

Iranian officials have condemned the attack but insist that broadcasts will continue.
