Reuters Documents Blast Damage at Iran's Ancient Palaces and Mosques
🏛️ IRAN — Reuters enters the ruins; the damage report is the next diplomatic weapon. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Cultural damage documentation is a strategic instrument, not journalism alone.

Each cracked wall becomes leverage against the MOU's legitimacy. The timing, as talks move to Doha, is not coincidental.
