As a result of an Israeli strike on the headquarters of Iran's state television in Tehran, "several" of its employees were killed, the channel reported live, according to the BBC.

According to one of the channel’s reporters, journalists "were working until the very last moment before the attack."

Peyman Jebelli, head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), appeared on state television holding a blood-stained piece of paper and stated that his colleagues "will stand to the end."

The moment of the strike was captured live on the IRINN channel, whose editorial office is located in that building. The anchor left the studio but was unharmed, according to the state news agency IRNA. She later returned to the air.
