Since the recent attack on Iran, there has been a lot of discussion about the country's Isfahan city. The city was the capital of the Persian Empire during the reign of the Safavid dynasty. Also in January 2023, a military factory owned by the Iranian army in Isfahan was attacked using several drones. Iran's main nuclear power plant, Natanz, is located in the city of Isfahan.
Few things to know about the city of Ispahan:
