Meanwhile this one has less noise since it wasn’t taken by the British and no one is asking for it back AFAIK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daria-i-Noor

No one is asking for it back because Iran would laugh them out of the room, as anyone should. None of this nonsense should be taken seriously.

We are past conquest for the most part, thankfully. But conquest was the way of the world at one time. When the dust settles things stand as they stand, that's all there is to it.
