Israel-Iran Conflict: The building of Iran's state broadcaster in Tehran was targeted by an Israeli strike on Monday evening, in which a woman employee died. Internet witnessed a huge outrage after a video showing the Iranian State TV building being attacked during a live show. A woman anchor is seen speaking live from the studio when suddenly the building is hit by the airstrike. Another video of a senior correspondent of the State TV also emerged in which he is reporting from outside the burning building. He is heard as saying in the video that he was on the second floor of the building when his office was bombed.
In the video, the reporter Younes Shadlou says, "Don't know how many of my colleagues were killed. I don't know how many people were injured, but we are not leaving and we are not afraid."

Trump Urges Tehran Evacuation As Iran-Israel Conflict Continues
Meanwhile, Israel and Iran attacked each other for a fifth straight day on Tuesday, and US President Donald Trump urged Iranians to evacuate Tehran, citing what he said was the country's rejection of a deal to curb nuclear weapons development.
Hope From G7 Summit In Canada
World leaders meeting at the Group of Seven summit in Canada called for a de-escalation of the worst-ever conflict between the regional foes, saying Iran must never have a nuclear weapon while affirming Israel's right to defend itself.
French President Emmanuel Macron said Trump, who was leaving the summit a day early due to the Middle East situation, had proposed a ceasefire for Iran and Israel.

"So now we need to see what the stakeholders will do," he added.
Trump has repeatedly urged Iran to give up its nuclear weapons ambitions. "Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social media platform on Monday.
