… her Tehran new studio becomes the latest target of Israeli strikes, the headquarters of the Islamic Republic of Iran broadcasting set a blaze in the attack.
The news anchor, Sahar Emami, survived and was quickly back on the air. The IDF said it conducted a precise strike targeting a communication center that was being used for military purposes by the Iranian armed forces. Earlier in the day, the Farabi Hospital in the western city of Kermanshah was hit, damaging the intensive care unit. Iran called it a war crime.
Meanwhile, in Western Tehran, thick plumes of smoke engulfed a residential neighborhood. Today, the IDF issued an unprecedented evacuation order for a large, densely populated area of Iran’s capital city, District 3, known to be a bustling business hub of over a million people.
Across Tehran, streets are deserted, shops locked, and residents are stockpiling essentials, bracing for what comes next.
