STORY: Footage from Iranian state TV showed the moment multiple strikes interrupted its live broadcast on Monday (June 16).

A news anchor attempted to continue the broadcast despite the sounds of explosions but finally left the studio as a direct hit caused debris to fly through the air and dust to rise.

The anchor, the graphics and background behind her match previous broadcasts from State TV. The date when the video was filmed could not be independently verified but Iran's State News Agency reported strike happened on Monday (June 16).

Netanyahu ordered a surprise attack on Iran in the early hours of Friday, vowing to end Tehran's nuclear ambitions, which he says represent an existential threat to his nation.

In response, Iran has fired nightly barrages of ballistic missiles.
