The Iran Heritage Foundation is a non-political UK registered charity with the mission to promote and preserve the history, languages, and cultures of Iran and the Persianate world. The objectives of the Foundation are achieved by organising and supporting activities of cultural or scholarly merit. IHF programmes include sponsoring teaching posts and fellowships at universities and museums, giving grants for academic research and cultural activities, and organising regular events and conferences, both in the United Kingdom and abroad.
The Iran Heritage Foundation deplores the recent threat to target sites of cultural significance in Iran in the event of escalating violence. Iran’s tangible and intangible cultural heritage is of unique value to the civilised world and must be protected at any cost. Deliberate damage to cultural heritage is contrary to the aims of the 1954 Hague Convention and the protocols of the Geneva Convention of 1949 and 1977 and is classified as a war crime.
