Iranian officials say 77 historical buildings, palaces and museums in Tehran were damaged in US-Israeli strikes, according to IRNA.

He said 38 of the affected sites are nationally registered monuments, with others holding cultural and architectural value, adding that at least 27 date back to the Qajar era.

Damaged sites include Farrokhabad Palace, Ishratabad Palace, Qasr Prison and a synagogue building.
