FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The independent, 21-member World Heritage Committee announced the news during their 36th session in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Isfahan’s Friday mosque is the oldest preserved edifice of its type in Iran and a prototype for later mosque designs throughout Central Asia.
