A live news broadcast on Iranian state television came to a shocking halt as an Israeli missile struck the building mid-transmission, sending anchors scrambling and the studio into darkness.
The dramatic moment, captured on video, showed debris and dust filling the screen before the feed was abruptly cut.
The strike was part of Israel's intensified offensive amid its ongoing war with Iran, now in its fourth day.
Israeli officials claimed the TV station was being used to shield military assets, justifying the direct hit.
