Israel has struck the studios of Iranian state news channel IRIB.
A loud explosion was heard as the anchor was presenting live on air, followed by some light debris falling from the ceiling.
Moments ago, Israeli defence minister Israel Katz posted on X: "The Iranian regime's propaganda and incitement broadcasting authority was attacked by the IDF after a widespread evacuation of the surrounding residents."
Echoing the sources in our last post, Donald Trump says Iran wants to de-escalate the conflict with Israel.
At a news conference at the G7 summit in Canada, the president was asked if he had heard any signals or seen any messages from intermediaries that Iran wishes to de-escalate the conflict.
"Yes, they'd like to talk, but they should have done that before," says Trump.
"Iran is not winning this war."
Asked what it would take for the US to become involved militarily, he says: "I don't want to talk about that."
Iran has gone to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman asking them to go to Donald Trump, so he can press Israel to agree to a ceasefire, sources have told Reuters news agency.
In return, Iran is said to be willing to offer flexibility in its nuclear negotiations with the US.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Tehran was signalling it wanted to end fighting as well, citing Middle Eastern and European officials.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards have called on the residents of Tel Aviv to evacuate as soon as possible, the country's state media reported.
It is a move that exactly mirrors Israel's own tactics.
Earlier today, Israel told residents of Tehran to evacuate, and later conducted strikes on the Iranian capital - see our 14.46 post.
Sir Keir Starmer has advised British nationals in Israel to register their presence.
"For British nationals in Israel, we're giving advice today to register their presence, so there will be a portal for that," he said.
"So I think all countries are also taking the necessary measures on a protective basis."

The prime minister is in Canada for the G7 summit.
He also called for de-escalation, which he said was a focus of the meeting.
"We all accept Israel's right to self-defence of course, but there must be de-escalation and that will be the central focus of much of the discussion today."
Israeli attacks on Iran in recent days have followed a playbook previously used when Israel attacked Hezbollah, defence and security analyst Professor Michael Clarke says.
The Israeli military launched a campaign in Lebanon last year to neutralise the threat of Hezbollah following several cross-border attacks.
Comparing that scenario to Israel's recent attacks on Iran, Professor Clarke says: "In terms of the Israeli attacks, they very much they follow what we might call the Hezbollah playbook.
"They've attacked fairly specific targets, coupled with a series of assassinations against senior leaders.
"They're trying to decapitate the command structure while they attack air defence to open up Iranian air defence and then attack Iran."
Energy infrastructure 'creaking'
On top of targeting Iran's nuclear sites, Professor Clarke says Israel has also been aiming to disrupt the country's energy infrastructure, which "feeds Iran's military machine".
"They're trying to bring down the internal energy infrastructure of Iran, which is creaking," he says.
Iran, Clarke said, was trying to do something similar in attacking Israel's port city of Haifa.
"There's a rationale to both sides."
The G7 has reached a draft statement on the Israel-Iran conflict - but US President Donald Trump has not signed off on it yet.
World leaders have been meeting in Canada today.
It is a meeting overshadowed by the conflict in the Middle East and plagued by fears of what Trump may do.
The draft calls for de-escalation, but says that Israel has the right to defend itself.
It stressed Iran can never have a nuclear weapon and that the leaders would work ot safeguard market stability.
It isn't clear how close, or far away, the US leader is, and he infamously abandoned a G7 joint statement during his first term.
A number of new satellite images reveal damage to Iranian nuclear and missile sites.
Smoke can be seen rising, or blackened marks across the facilities.
We've reported throughout the day on Israel's decision to target Iran's nuclear capabilities - fearing Tehran wielding a nuclear bomb.
Meanwhile, Iran has warned it is preparing to withdraw from a key nuclear non-proliferation treaty - see our 10.15 post.
The map below shows where many of Iran's nuclear and missile sites were hit, along with other targets.
Foreign nations have been acting quickly to try and get their people out of Israel and Iran amid the ongoing fighting.
Cyprus says that both Portugal and Slovakia asked for its help.
The island's foreign minister Constantinos Kombos says that the two countries were going to bring their citizens from the area of the conflict, home through Cyprus.
The island nation is the nearest EU country to Israel.
Poland said it would evacuate around 200 of its citizens from Israel.
These evacuations would take place overland into neighbouring Jordan within the next two days, according to deputy foreign minister Henryka Moscicka-Dendys.
In Iran, Azerbaijan was reportedly helping foreign citizens get out.
Azerbaijani media reports said that citizens from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Portugal, the Philippines, Finland and some other countries have crossed the Astara border checkpoint and headed to the airport in Azerbaijan's capital, Baku.
