Iran Urges UNESCO to Condemn Israel’s Threat to Historic Trans-Iranian Railway

Iran’s Minister of Cultural Heritage has formally appealed to UNESCO’s Director-General, calling on the UN agency to condemn Israel’s reported threat against the 1,394-km Trans-Iranian Railway. The railway, spanning from the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf, was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2021 for its scale and engineering feats. The minister described any attack as an assault on humanity’s shared heritage and urged UNESCO to take an immediate and clear stance to prevent military action, according to ISNA.
