Storyline: President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) Payman Jebelli on Wednesday condemned Israel for attacking its headquarters last week, declaring a lawsuit against Israel for violating the broadcaster's freedom of press and speech. Hit by Israeli airstrikes during live broadcast on June 16, the IRIB building in Tehran was severely damaged, with walls charred, glass broken, and debris scattered all over the ground. On June 13, Israel launched major airstrikes on different areas in Iran, including nuclear and military sites, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians. Iran responded by launching several waves of missile and drone attacks on Israel, inflicting casualties and heavy damage. On Saturday, the U.S. Air Force bombed three Iranian nuclear sites of Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. In retaliation, Iran on Monday targeted the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar with missiles. Following Iran's attack, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran would begin around 0400 GMT Tuesday. Both Iran and Israel later confirmed the start of the ceasefire. The Israel-Iran conflict has claimed the lives of more than 600 people in Iran, with many scientific research institutions, military facilities, and infrastructure hit by Israeli airstrikes. While announcing the "end of the 12-day war" on Tuesday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian urged all government bodies and revolutionary institutions to focus all their efforts on reconstruction.

SOUNDBITE (Persian) Payman Jebelli, president, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB): "Behind me is the broadcasting studio of the IRIB News Network, which you can go and see up close. In this studio, when the news anchor was broadcasting live and millions of people were watching it, Israel launched more than six missiles, with two of them hitting the building behind me and three hitting the top of the studio. The Israeli airstrikes disrupted the work of our news anchor and the entire broadcast. This scene was witnessed by people in Iran and around the world. When Israel allows itself to infringe on the freedom of speech and the rights of people in front of millions and even billions of people, you cannot expect it to observe moral norms." 3.
