We at the National Trust for Historic Preservation urge the U.S. government to
protect Iran’s cultural heritage sites—and we ask you to stand with us.

As an institution founded after the Second World War by the unsung hero of the
original “Monuments Men” brigade, which worked to protect the cultural treasures
of Europe from the Nazi regime, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has
long recognized that the intentional destruction of cultural sites is a blemish
on all humankind—a principle now enshrined in international law.

Historic places around the world are part of the cultural heritage that belongs
to all of us. We suffer a collective loss when places of cultural significance
are destroyed in times of conflict or other disasters. Just as we were horrified
when we witnessed the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas at the hands of the
Taliban, or when we saw the flames consume the cathedral of Notre Dame, the loss
of historic places in Iran would be a loss for people all over the world.

When we destroy culture anywhere, we destroy culture everywhere. Take action today and urge the United States government to avoid targeting
historically and culturally significant sites in Iran, and to uphold the
protection of all irreplaceable sites in times of conflict.
