Iran (IMNA) - The following video footage presents the first known images capturing the very moment of the palace's partial destruction, documenting the direct impact of modern warfare on Iran's ancient architectural legacy. This visual record serves as a critical testament to the vulnerability of world heritage sites in conflict zones.
During a military aggression involving aerial bombardment by American and Zionist forces against the historic urban fabric of Isfahan, a total of 27 cultural heritage sites sustained significant damage. Among the most emblematic casualties was Chehel Sotoun Palace (also known as the "Palace of Forty Columns"), a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its exquisite Safavid-era architecture and mirrored hall.
