Iran’s Isfahan Province has announced that a legal team is preparing a case concerning damage caused to Isfahan’s historical sites by US and Israeli strikes, Al Jazeera reports.

Mehdi Jamalinejad, governor of the province, has shared the news at an event for the International Day for Monuments and Sites, where he emphasised the need to preserve historic buildings and ancient sites.

“Unfortunately, during the war and the enemy’s attacks on this historic city, approximately 203 points within the Grand Bazaar and 28 historical monuments were damaged and require restoration,” he said.

Jamalinejad explained that legal proceedings are underway, noting, “we hope to achieve favourable results.”
