Israeli Air Force strikes IRIB state broadcaster headquarters in Tehran — IDF claims 'struck and dismantled'

IAF struck the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) complex in Tehran. IDF stated it had ‘struck and dismantled’ the headquarters, accusing IRIB of ‘calling for the destruction of the State of Israel and for the use of nuclear weapons’. Iran’s broadcaster head said broadcasts were not disrupted and there were no casualties. Newsweek published video of airstrike hitting during a live broadcast. With internet at ~4% connectivity, state broadcast is Iran’s primary remaining communication channel — targeting media infrastructure is an information warfare escalation.
