TEHRAN - Iran's state broadcaster reported two explosions near its Tehran headquarters on Tuesday, but said it was continuing to broadcast amid the ongoing Israeli-US strike campaign.

"Smoke from two explosions around IRIB's premises / No disruption to IRIB's operations," the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting wrote on Telegram.

The Israeli army claimed overnight Monday to Tuesday that it had "struck and dismantled" the headquarters of the IRIB in the Evin district of northern Tehran, which it described as a "communications centre of the Iranian terrorist regime."

It had previously urged residents of the district "to evacuate immediately."

US President Donald Trump warned Monday that his attack on Iran could extend longer than a month, as the war spread with Israel bombarding Lebanon and Tehran targeting oil facilities in Gulf countries. - AFP
