Arag Square

Arag Square is located in Tehran, Iran, within the buffer zone of the UNESCO World Heritage site, Golestan Palace. It is newsworthy due to recent reports of damage sustained during alleged U.S.-Israeli airstrikes in the area. According to reports, a strike on Monday hit Arag Square, resulting in damage to the nearby Golestan Palace from debris and shock waves. These events raise concerns about the impact of the ongoing conflict on protected historical sites in Iran. The square's proximity to a significant cultural landmark underscores its relevance in the context of escalating tensions and potential threats to Iranian heritage.
