Ancient heritage sites across #Iran damaged by #US - #Israel bombing
“ #Isfahan is not an ordinary city, it’s a museum without a roof. [...] In none of the previous eras, not in the Afghan wars, not in the Moghul conquest, not even during the ‘sacred defence’ [the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war] was this ever done,” the governor said.
Will @EUCommission @Bundesregierung have the guts to stand up to #Trump and #Netanyahu ?

@sabinehiller @EUCommission @Bundesregierung "The Isfahan governor, Mehdi Jamalinejad, said the damage had been inflicted even after coordinates of the historic sites had been circulated among the warring parties and after blue shield signs – denoting historical treasures under the 1954 Hague convention for the protection of cultural objects in war – had been put on the roofs of important buildings."

@sabinehiller It is the same as what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank: destroy all cultural heritage sites. Now acted out in Iran. Destroy the complete history of the population. #Israel #Iran #Gaza #Westbank #Trump #Criminals
