A small playground near Kikar HaMedina in Tel Aviv sits on land that was purchased by Iran in the 1970s, during a period of strong diplomatic ties between the two countries. The plot was originally intended to host an Iranian embassy, but the plan was abandoned after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and the subsequent severing of relations. Despite decades passing and the land being used as a public park, ownership technically remains with Iran, and could be reclaimed if relations ever normalize. The Tel Aviv municipality recently highlighted this unusual historical connection, sparking curiosity and hope for a future where peaceful relations might return.
