Iran Press/ Europe: Mehdi Hosseini Matin the chargé d'affaires of Iran in London wrote a message on X, formerly known as Twitter: "With the news about thousands of stolen artifacts from the British Museum, the question remains whether the museum is still a safe place for holding these priceless artifacts, including the Iranian items. Can British Museum officials regain the trust of original foreign owners?"
The British Museum is a public museum dedicated to human history, art, and culture located in the Bloomsbury area of London, and it is one of the biggest tourist attractions.
Officials of the British Museum announced that some items were missing, stolen, or damaged, adding that these items were golden artifacts and jewelry with precious and semi-precious stones dating from the 15th century BC to the 19th century AD.
Hartwig Fischer, British Museum director, called the theft "a very unusual incident" saying, "Most of these objects were small pieces that were stored in a warehouse belonging to one of the museum's collections."
