UNESCO Urged to Denounce Israel’s Railway Threat by Iran

Iran’s Minister of Cultural Heritage has dispatched a formal appeal to the UNESCO Director-General, requesting the international organization to publicly denounce Israel’s warning to target the country’s extensive railway network, as per a report from the ISNA news agency.

The 1,394-kilometre-long trans-Iranian railway, which spans from the Caspian Sea in the north to the Persian Gulf in the south, was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021 for its impressive scale and the intricate engineering feats required to navigate its challenging terrain, according to UNESCO’s official website.

The minister characterized the threat as a brazen assault on the shared cultural legacy of humanity and urged UNESCO to swiftly adopt a clear stance in order to prevent Israeli military aggression, ISNA reported.
