Iran Threatens To Destroy Tomb Of Mordechai and Esther
The Iranian branch of the Alliance for Rights of All Minorities (ARAM) organization, which operates in the field of equality of rights in the country, reported on Sunday that the Iranian government is threatening to demolish the Tomb of Mordechai and Ether located in the city of Hamadan.
In a cruelly ironic gesture, the Iranian government plans to turn the burial site of these Biblical Jewish heroes into a Palestinian consular complex.
According to reports, a crowd of Basij, a paramilitary volunteer militia branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, tried to raid the historic site on Sunday as revenge for Trump’s Deal of the Century. Basij, being part of the IRGC, is designated as a terrorist organization by the governments of the United States, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.
