Featured Article: Tehran
Tehran is the capital and largest city of Iran, first chosen as the capital city in 1786 by Agha Mohammad Khan of the Qajar dynasty. Home to many historical sites, including the World Heritage Site Golestan Palace of the Qajar dynasty as well as several modern landmarks constructions, it is a dynamic capital that brilliantly blends its rich imperial heritage with modern urban lifestyle. Unfortunately, Tehran was at the center of the Iranian Revolution, and experienced major bombing damage during the Iran–Iraq War, the Twelve-Day War, and the 2026 Iran war.
