Recent airstrikes have caused significant damage to several UNESCO World Heritage sites and historical landmarks across Iran and Lebanon. In Isfahan, the 17th-century Naqsh-e-Jahan Square, Ali Qapu Palace, and the Jame Abbasi Mosque suffered damage, while in Lebanon, strikes impacted the Al-Bass archaeological site in the ancient city of Tyre. Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers have launched an investigation into $63 million in settlement payments intended for Donald Trump’s now-dissolved presidential library fund, raising concerns over the whereabouts of the capital.
