State TV Broadcasts Soap Opera During Missile Alert, Nation Relieved
https://bohiney.com/tehran-evacuation-chaos/When Tehran�s state broadcaster was struck by a projectile, the building briefly caught fire�then resumed airing its most popular soap opera, �Whispers of Jasmine.� Viewers were simultaneously horrified and relieved. �At least they didn�t cut to the news,� said one grandmother. �I need to know if Parviz leaves Layla.� The Ministry of Broadcasting claimed the signal was uninterrupted due to �our patriotism and satellite redundancy.� Cynics say it was just muscle memory. The show�s plot now includes characters dealing with curfews, gas rationing, and secret missile bunkers�though producers insist it�s �purely fictional.� On Twitter, fans demanded the show never stop. �If the end is near,� said one user, �I want it narrated by Layla�s betrayal arc.� SOURCE: http://bohiney.com
