The home of late Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami was heavily damaged in an overnight airstrike on Tehran, according to an independent film journalist on the ground in Iran’s capital.

Mansour Jahani tells Deadline the strike took place in the Chizar district of Tehran. He cited an Instagram post from Kiarostami’s son, Ahmad Kiarostami, that reported, “Last night, the Chizar neighborhood was bombed, where both my mother’s and my father’s houses are located. Last night, my mother called and, in a shaky and broken voice, gave me news of her well-being, but this morning I learned that my father’s house was damaged.”

No one was in Kiarostami’s house at the time of the airstrike, Jahani says. The home has remained in the family’s possession after Kiarostami’s death in 2016 at the age of 76. His former wife, Parvin Amirgholi, lives nearby in the Chizar district, and her house sustained some damage in the attack. She was not injured, Jahani tells us.

Kiarostami was one of Iran’s most renowned filmmakers, winner of numerous international prizes including the Palme D’or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 for Taste of Cherry. Along with that film, Kiarostami earned slots in competition at Cannes for his 1994 film Through the Olive Trees, 2010’s Certified Copy, and 2012’s Like Someone in Love. He won the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival for his 1999 drama The Wind Will Carry Us.

Sites of cultural and historical importance in Iran have been hit since the U.S. and Israel launched a coordinated air campaign against the country in late February, damaging palaces and an ancient mosque, according to PBS, and “raising alarms about the impact of the widening war on protected landmarks that are important to Iranian identity and world history.”
