An attempt to smuggle 56 historical artifacts was announced by a Persian occupation official at the Minaa Ahwaz Airport.

A Persian occupation official in Ahwaz announced the seizure of 56 historical coins at the international Ahwaz Minaa Airport.

The official added on Friday that police officers at the international departures hall at Ahwaz Minaa Airport managed to seize 56 historical coins from passengers in less than 10 days. He explained that the first person was identified and arrested with 49 coins, and the second person was identified and arrested with seven historical coins.

The Persian official claimed that the accused intended to smuggle the historical metal coins to Arab Gulf countries.

The Persian occupation works to obliterate the Arab identity of Ahwaz and has stolen its history since occupying the Arab land for decades.
