Mordechai and Esther's graves in Iran under threat

Reports are coming out of Iran that say the Iranian regime is threatening to destroy the graves of Mordechai and Esther are, supposedly, or possibly, buried in Hamadan in Iran. In the place of the graves, the Iranian regime would build a consulate for the Palestinian Authority.

The grave site would be replaced with a Palestinian Consulate as retribution for Trump's Deal of the Century.

According to one tradition, from among the Persian Jewish community, Mordechai and Esther are buried at this site in Hamadan. Others say Mordechai and Esther are not buried there.

I don't even know if they are really buried there, so I don't know if we should be outraged or not. Either way, graves, no matter whose it might be, should not be uprooted and/or destroyed for any reason, let alone petty politics.

Maybe Israel should send in a mission to secretly exhume the remains from these graves and bring them to Israel...
