This is part of the war Israel has on Iran as of this posting. So far the current status of the staff at Iran State TV is unknown due to the bombing.
Iranian state television was broadcasting live on Monday when a massive explosion rocked the studio, with the anchor fleeing her desk amid smoke and rubble. The broadcast then went dark.
The big picture: Israel's strike on the state TV building signaled a broadening of its bombing campaign in Iran.

- But Israel has now issued several evacuation orders for civilians in Tehran, in areas where hundreds of thousands of people live. One of those evacuation orders focused on the neighborhood where Iran's state TV is located.
