Iran state TV resumed live coverage after Israel’s attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) building on Monday.<\/p>\n

“The Zionist regime the enemy of the Iranian nation minutes ago conducted a military operation against the Islamic Republic of Iran news network”, part of IRIB, said a senior official at the broadcasting service Hassan Abedini.<\/p>\n

“The regime (Israel) was unaware of the fact that the voice of the Islamic revolution and the great Iran will not be silenced with a military operation,” the official added.<\/p>\n

On the fourth day of the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel, both nations have launched fresh military strikes, causing heavy casualties and increasing concerns over regional stability.<\/p>\n

Iran hits Israel with ballistic missiles<\/p>\n

Iran launched a wave of ballistic missile attacks on Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv and Haifa, on Monday morning, killing at least 24 people.<\/p>\n

The strikes came hours after Israeli forces bombed key locations in Tehran overnight. Air raid sirens wailed across central Israel, and videos posted online showed fireballs lighting up the sky.<\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded by declaring that Israel is committed to \u201celiminating threats\u201d from Iran\u2019s nuclear and missile infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Russia is appealing to Israel to show restraint in the crisis with Iran, and believes Tehran is exercising its right to self-defence, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was quoted as saying on Monday.<\/p>\n

Israel launched a wave of strikes last Friday against Iran’s nuclear sites and military leadership, and Iran has responded by firing missiles at Israeli cities.<\/p>\n

“The potential dangerous consequences of strikes on nuclear infrastructure facilities are obvious to everyone. This is a cause for concern for the entire international community, but, in addition to this, we are, of course, watching how world markets react to what is happening,” state news agency TASS quoted Ryabkov as telling reporters.<\/p>\n

The Iranian health ministry reported that over 220 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since the conflict began, including at least 70 women and children. One of the most severe incidents occurred in Kermanshah, where Farabi Hospital was damaged during an Israeli airstrike.<\/p>\n

Footage from Fars News Agency showed a collapsed ceiling in the intensive care unit (ICU), with several patients reportedly injured by falling debris and shattered glass.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry condemned the hospital strike as a \u201cwar crime,\u201d while the Israeli military said it was \u201cnot aware\u201d of any such incident.<\/p>\n

Satellite imagery released by Maxar Technologies on Monday confirmed damage to Iran\u2019s missile facility in Kermanshah. Analysts say the strike is part of Israel’s effort to degrade Iran\u2019s military capabilities amid rising tensions.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tehran residents were seen fleeing the capital in large numbers overnight, as repeated bombardments raised fears of further escalation.<\/p>\n

In a rare statement, Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid urged the United States to intervene directly. \u201cThis is a threat for the entire globe,\u201d he said, calling on Washington to help target fortified Iranian nuclear sites, including the Fordow enrichment facility.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s new suicide drone <\/p>\n

In a show of technological force, Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) unveiled a new long-range suicide drone, the Shahed-107.<\/p>\n

The drone reportedly has a range of over 1,500 kilometers and is powered by a piston engine. State media claims it recently approached Israel\u2019s Arrow 3 air defense system, raising questions about Israel\u2019s ability to intercept such threats.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
