Iran’s state broadcaster says parts of its headquarters have been struck by what it called the “American‑Zionist enemy”.
In a live announcement on the rolling news channel IRINN at 20:53 local time (17:24) on 1 March, a female presenter said that “a few moments ago”, parts of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) complex had come under attack.
“Currently, broadcasting by the Voice and Vision [IRIB] continues as normal, and our technical colleagues are assessing any possible damage,” she added.
Earlier in the day, rumours had circulated on social media claiming that IRIB had been hit, though these were later denied, external.
The broadcaster was previously struck during the Iran-Israel war in June 2025. At the time, during a live IRINN bulletin, presenter Sahar Emami was heard exclaiming “God is great” as explosions rang out, before a second blast and the partial collapse of the studio ceiling forced her to flee the set.
