Another wrote: “The day before yesterday, I heard the news of the destruction of the Iran Restaurant Cafe (the oldest building in the College Crossroads) and today the Khorram Casino Hotel was also set on fire. In the midst of all this painful news, the destroyers of the country’s architectural heritage are still working.”

According to Mashreq report, Maleki, the spokesman of the Tehran fire department, said that “In the area of Eram Park, an old four-story building that was abandoned caught fire due to the carelessness of the workers in the roof, and accordingly, a lot of smoke-filled that area.
“Immediately, two stations were sent to the scene of the accident and the fire has been extinguished. This building is not located in the traffic area of citizens and fortunately, no one was injured.”
