6/16 – Israel Bombs Iranian TV Station During Live Broadcast
6/16 — Israel Bombs Iranian TV Station During Live Broadcast
Since the start of the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, the Israeli army has become the leading cause of journalist deaths across the world
The Israeli air force bombed the headquarters of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) corporation, the country’s national broadcaster, during a live broadcast on 16 June.
According to IRIB Deputy for Political Affairs Hassan Abedini, several IRIB staffers were injured during the Israeli attack.
“The Glass Building is currently undergoing fire suppression efforts, and initial assessments indicate several injuries among staff,” Abedini said. “Many employees managed to evacuate the building immediately after the strike.”
Minutes after the attack, IRIB anchor Sahar Emami – who was seen fleeing the live broadcast as the bombs dropped – reappeared on screen to continue reporting, all while the IRIB building was still on fire.
“The brave sons and daughters of our nation in national media declare with unwavering voice that our determination to play a decisive role in the hybrid war launched by the Zionist enemy has multiplied. Our will to deliver a strategic media defeat to the global front of disbelief remains unshaken,” IRIB President Dr Peyman Jebelli said in a statement.
According to Article 79 of the Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, journalists are protected even in the zone of military conflict.
However, since the start of the genocide in Gaza, the Israeli army has become the leading cause of journalist deaths in the world, killing over 200 Palestinian journalists alone.
In 2024, the Israeli army was responsible for nearly 70 percent of all journalists killed throughout the world, the deadliest year for journalists globally, according to a report released on 12 February by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
