More Cultural Crimes in US 'Epstein Raids'
As reported by Iranwire, as a result of the ongoing illegal US and Israeli bombing raids a number of Iran’s historic buildings have been damaged or destroyed. These include the Golestan Palace-Museum and parts of the historic fabric of central Tehran, the Asef, Salar Said, and Khosroabad mansions in Sanandaj, the Rashk-e Janan Palace (Governorate Palace), Chehel Sotoun Palace, Ali Qapu Palace, and the Shah Mosque of Isfahan. The Anthropology and Archaeology Museum located in Falak-ol-Aflak Castle in Khorramabad has also reportedly been damaged during the attacks. This must stop.
