Iran’s FM says Israel bombing historic sites

Iran’s foreign minister says Israeli attacks on the country have struck Unesco World Heritage Sites, including some dating back to the 14th century, Al Jazeera reports.

In a post on X, Abbas Araghchi called on Unesco to speak up over the attacks on the country’s heritage.

“It’s natural that a regime that won’t last a century hates nations with ancient pasts. But where’s Unesco? Its silence is unacceptable,” he wrote.
