🔥 Breaking: Tehran's iconic Golestan Palace, a 19th-century UNESCO World Heritage Site, has sustained damage during military strikes this week that Iranian authorities attribute to "coordinated U.S.-Israeli operations." Local reports show collapsed sections of the palace's marble terraces and shattered stained-glass windows.
🏛️ The complex, once home to Persia's Qajar rulers, attracts millions of cultural tourists annually. "This isn't just Iran's loss – it's humanity's," said a Tehran-based historian we spoke to via encrypted chat.
🌍 UNESCO has issued a statement urging "all parties to protect cultural heritage during conflicts," while social media floods with #SaveGolestan posts. No casualties reported, but the incident sparks global debate about preserving history in war zones.
