Iran’s state media studios have been bombed by Israel in a missile barrage that was caught live on air.

The studio, based in Tehran, was airing a live television program when the bombs dropped, with loud bangs heard off camera.

A female presenter, addressing the camera, quickly flees from the desk as debris starts falling from the roof and the frame begins shaking.

Videos circulating on social media show the Iranian state TV building, known as “the glass building,” is still burning.

Following the attack, live programs have been transferred to another studio that resembles those used for radio broadcasts.

Israel launched airstrikes and drones at Iran throughout the day, while Iran fired a pre-dawn wave of missiles at Israel that killed at least eight people.

The tit-for-tat attacks between Israel and Iran began when Israel attacked Iran over Tehran’s nuclear program, and have raised fears of a wider, more dangerous regional war.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Monday that the strikes have set Iran’s nuclear program back “years.”

He added that Israel is not attempting to topple the Iranian government, but he said he would not be surprised if that happened as a result of the strikes.

He also said he is in daily touch with US President Donald Trump.

Israel says more missiles from Iran are on their way

The military said defence systems were operating to intercept the missiles. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

While no opinion polls have been released since Israel launched a surprise attack Friday, much of the Israeli public seems to be lining up behind the operation in these early days.

As they surveyed the damage and moved to hotels or the homes of loved ones, some Petah Tikva residents said Israel must keep up its attacks to survive.

One woman said four of her neighbours were killed and much of her apartment was destroyed.

Miryam, who spoke to AP on condition that her last name not be used because she serves in the military, called it the scariest thing she’s experienced.

“But the right thing is to attack Iran; I don’t want them to have this power over us,” she said.
