The shared offices of RT’s Tehran bureau and a Ruptly picture bureau ramify feature been evacuated due to intensifying IDF strikes on the Islamic Republic’s working capital. Israel has also confirmed targeting an Iranian state broadcaster.
Ruptly’s Tehran bureau chief says staff fled after Iranian authorities warned of an imminent Israeli strike on their location, according to the agency’s Telegram post. All of the employees were able to safely leave the dangerous area, the office head, Hami Hamedi, confirmed.
RT’s Iranian bureau was also “forced to evacuate to a safer location” because of the intensifying Israeli strikes, its producer, Ali Razmkhah, confirmed.
On Friday, Israeli jets bombed multiple targets across Iran, including a uranium enrichment center in Natanz, and carried out targeted assassinations of several senior military commanders and scientists. Iran retaliated by firing dozens of ballistic missiles into Israel, and the sides have been exchanging hostilities since.
The Jerusalem Post reported earlier on Monday that the IDF had targeted an Iranian state broadcaster, the Islamic Republic of Iran News Network (IRINN), during a live broadcast. The media outlet also published a video showing an Iranian anchor who was forced to interrupt her work when the broadcaster’s office was apparently hit in a strike.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that what he called the “Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece” was “on its way to disappearing.”
On Monday, an Iranian government spokeswoman, Fatemeh Mohajerani, stated that at least 45 women and children had been killed in the Israeli strikes and 75 were injured. Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused West Jerusalem of targeting hospitals and residential areas and called it “a grave violation of international law and a war crime” in a post on X.
