Israel's latest strike on Iranian state broadcaster comes after Israeli defence minister Israel Katz stated Tel Aviv will make “Iranian propaganda” disappear.

“The Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappear," Katz was quoted as saying.

Israeli military further stated that the state broadcaster's office was being used as a front for the Iranian Armed Forces.

“This centre was used by the armed forces to promote military operations under civilian cover, while using its own means and assets. The attack was carried out in a targeted manner to minimise harm to uninvolved people as much as possible,” it said, without any evidence to the claim.
