Seyed Mohammad Marandi, an Iranian professor at the University of Tehran, stayed in a news studio after it was bombed by Israel to appear on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" and "defend the Iranian people."

Israel committed a war crime on Monday after it bombed the complex of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Iran's state broadcaster, as popular TV anchor Sahar Emami was live on air condemning "aggression against the homeland," according to Al Jazeera. As smoke and debris filled the room, Emami was seen fleeing the studio.
