Damaged university site in Iran to be turned into war museum

Authorities in Iran plan to preserve a damaged site at the Isfahan University of Technology as a war museum following recent strikes.

According to university head Zafarollah Kalantari, the affected area will be kept as a reminder of what he described as the country’s scientific suffering during the conflict.

He said, “construction of a new building and provision of advanced equipment.”

Kalantari added that early estimates put the damage to university buildings and infrastructure at around $11 million, according to the state news agency IRNA.

The university was damaged during a US-Israeli attack in March, part of a huge conflict that spread all over the region. Officials said at least 30 universities in Iran were affected, including institutions in Tehran, along with residential areas and other civilian sites.

A ceasefire between the sides has been in place since April 8.
