Israel bombs Iranian state TV station in Tehran | VIDEO

Israeli forces bombed Iran's state television station in the capital, Tehran, accusing it of being "a center used by the armed forces to promote military operations under civilian cover, while using its own means and resources."

As has happened in the Gaza Strip, although journalists are protected by international law, they have become targets of the Israeli government, so more attacks could follow as the conflict unfolds.

In a video circulating on social media and translated by Al Jazeera, Iranian journalist Younes Shadlou reported from outside the burning state TV building, saying, “I don’t know how many of my colleagues are still inside right now.”

“We were given evacuation warnings, but we all stayed until the last moment to show the true face of the Zionist regime to the world.”

One of Israel's previous targets had been a hospital in Iran, as happened in the Gaza Strip, which despite being violations of international law and a war crime, These continued to occur until they incapacitated dozens operating in the occupied Palestinian territory. .

In a media interview, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the war could end if he assassinates Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

In turn, the Iranian government has openly sought a diplomatic solution to the conflict, calling for the intervention of the United States, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stating that If Donald Trump “truly believes in diplomacy and wants to stop the war, then a call from Washington would be all it would take to silence Netanyahu.”

What did Donald Trump say about the conflict between Israel and Iran?

On Monday, President Donald Trump declared during his pre-G7 meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that Iran "wants to talk," following Israel's unilateral attack on Iran last Friday, which saw the two countries exchange missile and bomb attacks.

Trump said they "should have done it sooner," recalling that he gave them 60 days to reach a new nuclear agreement after Trump withdrew from the one reached with Obama and imposed new sanctions during his first term.

“It's painful for both sides, but Iran isn't winning this war, and they (Israel and Iran) should talk, and they should talk quickly before it's too late.”

He declined to answer the question of what would have to happen for the United States to become involved in the conflict, despite having provided Israel with military and intelligence assistance from the outset to contain the waves of Iranian attacks.

He stated that Canada and the United States support Israel and have done so for a long time in history, and now “it is doing very well now.”

Cyprus offers help

For its part, the island of Cyprus last week activated a mechanism to assist in the evacuation of citizens from other Middle Eastern countries in the wake of the conflict between Israel and Iran.
