The IDF, in a statement, confirms it bombed Iran’s state broadcaster building in Tehran a short while ago, saying it was used by Iran’s armed forces.
“This center was used by the armed forces to advance military operations under civilian cover, using its own means and assets,” the IDF claims.
Before the strike, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for a large section of Tehran where the broadcaster building is located, and made phone calls to people in the area, it says.
“The strike was also carried out in a targeted manner to minimize harm to uninvolved [civilians] as much as possible,” the IDF adds.
