UNESCO has expressed concern over the potential damage to several heritage sites in the Middle East following the US-Israeli bombing of Iran. According to UNESCO, the Golestan Palace is located in the heart of Tehran's historic center. The walled palace is one of the oldest complexes in the city. "The Qajar family, who made Tehran the capital of the country in 1779, chose it as the seat of government," UNESCO's website says. It was further decorated and enlarged in the 19th century. The palace has recently been used as a museum. UNESCO has urged both sides to refrain from attacking World Heritage sites. UNESCO also reminded that cultural property is protected under international law.
