According to Navideshahed quoting Iranian Student’s News Agency (ISNA), Hussein Eshghi the commander of the Headquarters for Preservation of Sites and Remnants of Holy Defense in Khuzistan Province announced: “The building is in two floors with an area of 329 square meters. The building was constructed 100 years ago with the purpose of shipment affairs. The building is located near Arvand River; the abovementioned building has a place for scouting in its southern side and it is near the river. From this place the movements of ships in the path of river is so easy. The Islamic forces of Iran used this building as a place for scouting during the Iran-Iraq war era. That is why this place was targeted by Iraq’s artilleries and missiles for several times and a big part of the building was destroyed at the time as well.”?

At the moment the Abadan Oil Refining Company is trying to renovate a section of the building for the purpose of Cultural and Sports Club for the Oil Industry.

Also until now 51 military remnants of Iran-Iraq war have been registered as Holy Defense remnants.”?
