Far-right MAGA influencer Laura Loomer mocked footage capturing the moment an Israeli airstrike hit Iran's TV network, IRIB, during a live broadcast.
Loomer shared the video Monday morning on X.
"BREAKING: An Israeli airstrike just struck the headquarter office of Iranian state media while they were LIVE on air complaining about Israeli airstrikes in Iran," she wrote. "😅😅😅 This might be the funniest video I have ever seen."

A female anchor is seen, standing to flee amid a loud blast as dust fills the studio and shouting erupts. The incident occurred during a live broadcast from central Tehran as Israel continued its wave of retaliatory strikes against Iranian targets.
Users on X condemned Loomer's reaction.
"Finding this funny just shows there is something seriously wrong with you," one user replied.
Anyone who is laughing at this should seek psychological help.

"What a disgusting warpig," wrote journalist Julio Rausseo.
"How is this funny?" asked another user. "They are innocent civilians."
Shame on you! This is not funny no matter who side you're on. You've lost all credibility...

Critics compared Loomer's glee to the very dehumanization and hatred she frequently accuses others of. "How are you any different from people who are anti-Semitic if you laugh when human beings are in a building that is hit?" questioned one user.
At least 224 people in Iran and 24 in Israel have been reported dead after four days of escalating strikes between the two countries. Iran has signaled interest in halting hostilities through Arab intermediaries—but without U.S. involvement—while Israel continues targeting infrastructure, including suspected nuclear sites and media outlets.
Loomer has not responded to the criticism.
