In a statement, the US military command said that Iranian air defence capabilities, missiles, drone launch sites and military airfields have also been destroyed in strikes.

“We will continue to take decisive action against imminent threats posed by the Iranian regime,” the US military command said in a statement.

Attack on Iran’s IRIB broadcaster

Parts of Iran’s state broadcasting headquarters were hit in US and Israeli strikes on Tehran on Tuesday, according to Iranian media.

The Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) said sections of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) complex in the capital had been struck.

Despite the attack, ISNA said broadcasting operations had not been disrupted due to “precautions” taken by IRIB, adding that news transmissions remained on air and that operations were continuing.

In a separate post, ISNA reported that the Shahid Motahhari government complex, located near Vali Asr and Imam Khomeini streets in central Tehran, was also targeted earlier in the day.

Several explosions were heard across central, northern and western areas of Tehran, the agency added.
