This must be a new low for anti-Semites. As if desecrating the ancient Hebrew culture is not enough, Iranian mullahs are now looking into the possibility of submerging the tomb of their own Persian King Cyrus just because he was friendly to Jews. Cyrus, who ruled the Persian Empire more than a thousand years before the beginning of Islam as a religion, released a remnant of captive Jews during the sixth century b.c. and allowed them to return to Jerusalem to build the Second Temple. According to a report by Omedia,

The Iranian government is in the final stages of constructing a dam in the country’s south that will submerge the archaeological sites of Pasargad and Persopolis—the ancient capital of the Persian Empire. The site, which is considered exceptional in terms of its archaeological wealth and historical importance, houses the tomb of the Persian King Cyrus.

Arutz Sheva, in Israel, reports on the story here.
