An Iranian television presenter fired a Kalashnikov rifle inside a TV studio while hosting an instructional broadcast on weapon handling, as footage from the segment spread widely online.

The program also included clips displayed on large screens showing virtual sniper-style targeting reticles placed over the faces of several US and ‘Israeli’ officials, including ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President of the United States Donald Trump, ‘Israeli’ Defense Minister Israel Katz, and US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff.

The televised segment drew significant attention across social media platforms as tensions in the region continue to escalate.
