Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as rural district in Lorestan, Iran. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10855716. Authority coordinates are 33.620, 49.541. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2011 and 2016.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
