TEHRAN – The recent inscription of Alamut Castle and Related Fortifications on UNESCO’s World Heritage List has raised international attention to the historic region and could help attract more foreign tourists, South Korea’s ambassador to Iran said on Monday.
TEHRAN- Historical monuments are not merely symbols of a nation's identity; they are also testaments to that nation's resilience against the vicissitudes of history and narrators of its past experiences. Although in recent years, especially after the two World Wars, historical monuments have come under the umbrella of international protection, obligating global sensitivities for warring parties to preserve these sites in each other's territories, the inherently destructive nature of war, combined with its objectives which tend toward the annihilation of the enemy and consequently the erasure or at least weakening of their identity, has meant that this sector has not been spared from the negative effects of war damage.
TEHRAN - The unfolding geopolitical fallout from the unprovoked US-Israeli military aggression orchestrated against the Islamic Republic of Iran has exposed profound, irreparable fractures within Washington’s network of international alliances, revealing a unilateral intervention bogged down in strategic failure and desperate miscalculations.
