Damage to Golestan Palace Amid Iran–Israel–US Conflict: Cultural Heritage at Risk

Images and reports from Golestan Palace have played a crucial role in raising awareness about the cultural cost of war.
Photography and journalism serve to:
- Document destruction for historical record
- Mobilize international support
- Hold parties accountable
- Preserve visual memory of lost heritage
Without such documentation, many cultural losses would go unnoticed.
