Iran says museums and historic sites damaged in war

TEHRAN: Iran’s cultural heritage and tourism ministry said Saturday at least 56 museums and historic sites across the country have been damaged, as the Middle East war entered its 15th day. In Tehran, US-Israeli strikes damaged the UNESCO-listed Golestan Palace in the early days of the conflict, local media reported. The palace complex is one of the oldest sites in the Iranian capital and once served as the residence of the Qajar dynasty. The ministry said Tehran has recorded the highest number of damaged monuments, with 19 suffering varying levels of harm.
