US President Donald Trump has faced ¿ë´ÞÀÌ»çºñ¿ë growing criticism over his threats to attack Iran's cultural sites.
Mr Trump made the threats amid fallout from the US °³²±¸¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç assassination of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani.
The president said cultural sites were ¿õÁøÇÑ»ÂÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å»=¿õÁøÇÑ»ÂÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å»±Â±Â among 52 identified Iranian targets that could be attacked if Iranians "torture, maim and blow up our people".
But the UN's cultural organisation and UK ¿Á¼öµ¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç foreign secretary were among those to note that such sites were protected.
The US and Iran have signed conventions CJÇï·Î Á¤¼ö±â·»Å»=CJÇï·Î Á¤¼ö±â·»Å»À̺¥Æ® to protect cultural heritage, including during conflict. Military attacks targeting cultural sites are considered war crimes under international law.
Qasem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike in ½Ä±â¼¼Ã´±â·»Å» Baghdad on Friday on the orders of Mr Trump. The killing has sharply increased regional tensions, with Iran threatening "severe revenge".
