Israel confirms it attacked the state media company's buildings and says the facility has been destroyed.
"The center has recently been used by Iranian regime forces to promote military operations under the cover of civilian funds and assets, which goes beyond normal propaganda activities," the military said on Telegram.
Despite the attack, the company's broadcasts continue uninterrupted. Its headquarters were also attacked by Israel during the Twelve Day War last year.
In connection with the latest attack, Iran has carried out counterattacks against Israel, the Israeli military said on Telegram.
Meanwhile, people told AFP they heard powerful explosions in the Saudi capital Riyadh. The explosions were heard in the city's diplomatic quarter and, according to the country's defense ministry, two drones were shot down. The drones reportedly caused a "limited fire" at the US embassy.
Two ballistic missiles were shot down in Qatar, the country's defense ministry said in a statement, following reports of explosions in the capital Doha.
On February 28, the United States and Israel attacked Iran without UN Security Council approval. The attack was described as a preemptive strike to prevent the country from developing nuclear weapons. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several other leaders were killed in the bombings.
A year earlier, in March 2025, US President Donald Trump sent a letter to the Ayatollah seeking to open new negotiations over Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program. Five meetings were held, but they produced no results. In June, Iran announced that a third nuclear facility would be commissioned.
On June 22, the United States entered the war between Israel and Iran and bombed the three nuclear power plants.
In September, previous UN sanctions on Iran were reimposed. The economy deteriorated and popular protests erupted before the turn of the year. Trump said he was prepared to intervene on the side of the protesters when they were killed in their thousands - but that did not happen.
In early 2026, US military forces gathered in Iran's vicinity. New negotiations began on February 3, without results.
