UNESCO Sites in Iran, Lebanon Damaged in Conflict

UNESCO-protected sites in Iran and Lebanon face destruction amidst conflict, with Golestan Palace and Chehel Sotoun Palace among the damaged. The human cost extends beyond lives lost, impacting community identity and shared roots. The cause of damage remains unclear, with U.S. and Israeli strikes suspected. UNESCO offers training and assistance to preserve these sites, but the U.S. plans to withdraw by December due to bias concerns.
