If in time due to a severe humanitarian crisis brought on by famine and regional devastation, harried by ongoing military conflict, displacement, and damaged infrastructure, Israel and its regional foe Iran were to come to the bread table and empower a true peace, with a colossal statue of Cyrus the Great on the red rocks of Susa to embody in stone the Red Rock Accord, the Middle East and its diverse people would find anchor on hallowed Achaemenid ground.

A Susa statue would represent a return to the core values of the Cyrus Cylinder, advocating for future peaceful relations and prosperous ties between Iran, Israel, and the wider Middle East to implement policies of mutual tolerance, religious freedom, and basic human rights.
