Conflicting statements have emerged over whether the remains of a 2,000-year-old Parthian fortress known as Tappeh Dokhtar, or the "Virgin's Mound," dating from Iran's pre-Islamic past were recently demolished in the Iranian city of Hamadan to make room for a mosalla, a Muslim prayer center often used by hard-line supporters of the government.

Subject: DAILY NEWS: Sasanian city of Rustam-Kavadh, newest victim of development projects in Kuzestan Province

LONDON, (CAIS) -- Another pre-Islamic Iranian heritage site is under threat of total obliteration as the result of looting and the authorities’ negligence. This latest victim is the ruins of the Sasanian city of Rustam-Kavadh located near the village of Band-Qir in Khuzestan Province.

The ancient city of Rustam-Kavadh is one of the most important archaeological sites in Iran that has remained unknown, since no study has ever carried out on the site.

shame on the Islamic Rapist Republic and shame on its supporters.  Islam is the culprit and we must work towards reforming it, if such a thing is possible.
