The IDF struck the Islamic Republic of Iran News Network (IRINN), operated by IRIB, on Monday afternoon because the network was being used for military purposes by the Iranian Armed Forces, the military said.
Iranian news agencies reported that a female employee of Iran's state broadcaster died of injuries suffered in Israeli attack on the TV building.
The building was used under the guise of civilian activity, covering up the military use of the center's infrastructure and assets. The strike directly harmed the military capabilities of the Iranian Armed Forces, according to the IDF.
The military added that the "precise strike" was conducted based on intelligence, and prior to the strike, the IDF warned the surrounding civilian population, including through phone calls.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said just before the strike that the "Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappearing."
He added that the evacuation of the surrounding residences has begun.
The IDF had earlier struck a military base in western Tehran, Iranian media reported, and footage viewed by The Jerusalem Post confirmed.
At the same time, IDF Spokesperson in Arabic, Avichay Adraee, issued an evacuation warning in Persian to the residents of the third district of Tehran in a social media post on Monday.
Adraee notified residents that the IDF will strike military infrastructure in the area in the next few hours, as it has done in recent days in Tehran.
The third district is located in eastern Tehran and is an affluent area where many government offices reside.
This is a developing story.
