THIS is the dramatic moment an Iranian state TV studio was hammered by an Israeli bomb leaving the anchor fleeing for her life.
During a live broadcast, the female host is in the middle of a powerful propaganda monologue when she is suddenly interrupted by intense shaking and a loud explosion from the ongoing blitz.
The woman, in a black hijab, is speaking about another nearby bombing which isn’t seen in the clip.
She said: “What you just heard and saw was the sound of enemy invasion to our country…”
Then a mighty roar happens and the camera shakes as the building the studio is in is hit directly by the IDF.
The Ayatollah’s mouthpiece, working for the channel IRIB, looks visibly shaken and begins to cower.
The green screen behind the presenter cuts out and dust and plaster flies across the studio.
The anchor then turns and flees – but the inset video continues to show Iranian missiles bombing Israeli civilians.
Production staff shout and scream as they also flee the building.
Following the strike, one of the channel’s propagandists spoke to a camera outside the building.
The five-story structure can be seen burning with black smoke rising into the sky as a small firetruck tries to extinguish the blaze.
He raved “the child killing Zionist regime hit the building while we were working.
“We were warned to evacuate, but we all went to work and I was on the first floor. I do not know how many of my colleagues are injured.”
Iran has now threatened the headquarters for Israeli TV studios N12 and Now14 saying that those working there should evacuated immediately.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) described Tehran’s state TV broadcaster as a “communication centre for the military”.
They said in a statement the air force targeted a “communication centre that was being used for military purposes by the Iranian Armed Forces”.
The building was being used “under the guise of civilian activity”, they added.
It comes after the IDF issued an evacuation order for the part of Tehran that IRIB is based in.
Defence Minister Israel Katz had said ahead of the evacuation warning: “The Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappear.”
Israel has been conducting bombings in Iran for four days, now confident in its air superiority, as it attempts to dismantle Tehran’s nuclear agenda.
Meanwhile, Iran is retaliating by bombing Israeli civilian areas – with missiles sneaking past the Iron Dome and killing dozens.
With control of the skies, Israel has expanded its focus, targeting not only nuclear and military sites but also infrastructure related to energy, manufacturing plants, and now even television studios.
Israeli politicians are now raising the prospect of trying to overthrow the Ayatollah.
Benjamin Netanyahu has also said that Iran is now “very weak” as he warned of an impending “regime change” in Tehran.
