Prehistoric Sites of the Khorramabad Valley: Iran's deep past on UNESCO World Heritage List

One year ago, Iran's 29th World Heritage site was inscribed—its first dedicated to the Paleolithic period. The six caves and rock shelters in Lorestan province preserve an exceptional record: Neanderthal occupation layers with fire use, Baradostian culture tools, and early symbolic artifacts like carved deer-tooth pendants and marine shells from the Persian Gulf.

The Archaeological Museum of Lorestan now houses over 100,000 years of human history, from fossilized Miocene herbivores to Chalcolithic ritual burials.

A year on, this inscription cements Iran's place among humanity's shared heritage.

Why does Washington target a railway bridge 700 miles from the battlefield?

On July 9, US cruise missiles struck the Aq-Tekeh Khan railway bridge in Golestan province—a civilian infrastructure node on the China–Kazakhstan–Turkmenistan–Iran rail corridor. This overland route became a vital artery for Iranian trade during the naval blockade.

This is not a military tactic; it is economic strangulation. Washington is signaling it will dismantle alternative routes that allow Iran to function—targeting food and medicine supply chains, not military assets.

The bridge was reopened in 24 hours. The question remains: when does "strategy" become economic terrorism against a nation?

180 MPs call for terminating MoU, demand strategic deterrence over the Strait of Hormuz.

Following US strikes violating the June 17 agreement, 180 Iranian lawmakers have issued a joint statement urging termination of the MoU and demanding a "revolutionary shift" in defense doctrine.

"The nation urgently expects firm positions," the statement read. "This experience has proven our Imam's words: Iran's issues with the US cannot be resolved through negotiations."

Parliament demands legislation governing the Strait of Hormuz and full support for the Armed Forces.

The MPs also reaffirmed: "Vengeance for the martyred Leader's blood is inevitable."
