The recent attacks targeting the invaluable historical, cultural, and educational sites of Isfahan have been unequivocally condemned as a blatant insult to our shared human heritage and global civilization.

These assaults have inflicted significant damage upon nine prominent historical landmarks, including Chehel Sotoun Palace, Shah Mosque, Qeysarieh Bazaar, and Ali Qapu Palace, as well as impacting various cultural and educational institutions within the region. Experts have described the damage to the ornamentation, structures, and architectural elements of these precious sites as irreparable, raising grave concerns about the future of these irreplaceable cultural and educational treasures.

The international community and all relevant heritage and educational protection authorities are urged to take immediate and decisive action. This includes the thorough documentation of damages, the urgent dispatch of specialized assessment teams, and robust legal follow-up in international forums to prevent the recurrence of such destructive incidents.

The preservation of Isfahan’s historical, cultural, and educational heritage is a collective responsibility, and neglecting it means disregarding a crucial part of humanity’s shared history and identity.
