Tehran says two IRIB staff killed in Israeli strike on broadcaster

Two staff members of Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB were killed in Monday’s Israeli airstrike on the network’s glass-fronted building in northern Tehran, according to Iranian media.

Nima Rajabpour, a news editor, and Masoumeh Azimi, a secretariat staffer, died following injuries sustained in the attack, which also wounded several other journalists and employees, state-affiliated outlets reported.

Azimi was reportedly killed by the blast wave, while Rajabpour succumbed to his injuries later, according to a live report on IRINN.
