Шаблон:Infobox artifact The 'Iran Stele' is an ancient Stele from the Assyrian Empire.[1][2]

Tiglath-Pileser III was instrumental in expanding the Neo-Assyrian Empire westward, reaching the Levant and encountering Israel and Judah.[3] The Iran Stele was discovered in three large fragments in Iran and details his military campaigns during the first nine years of his reign.[4][5]

Of particular interest to Ancient Israel is a section of the inscription listing kings who paid tribute to Tiglath-Pileser, including Menahem of Samaria.[6] Two of the Iran Stele fragments are now housed in the Israel Museum after being part of private collections.[7]

Text:

Menahem of Samaria, Hiram of Tyre, . . . gold, silver . . .”[8]

. . the place of Samaria only did I leave their king[9]
