HaRav Yehuda Gerami, the Rav of Iran, traveled to the kevarim of Mordechai HaTzaddik and Esther HaMalka with members of his kehilla on Taanis Esther and found a Palestinian flag flying outside it.
Kan News reported that the site was recently vandalized.
In October, in the wake of the war in Gaza, locals desecrated the kevarim of Mordechai HaTzaddik and Esther HaMalka and burned Israeli flags at the site.
They also sent a letter to the Iranian Culture Ministry demanding that the site be converted into a “museum of the crimes of the Zionist regime” and that a public relations office of the “Palestinian resistance forces” be established there.
However, in general, the site is protected as Esther and Mordechai were considered Persian royalty and the Iranian regime preserves the site due to their interests in maintaining Persian historical and cultural sites.

Achashverosh allowed Esther to be buried with Mordechai rather than in the Persian Royal cemetery?
It shows that the Islamic-fascist Republic with its proxies [Hamas, PIJ, Hezbollah, Houthis, etc.) are determined on continuing genocidal Haman’s plans. .
@ujm I heard that Esther had something like a body double that fulfilled physical duties to Achashverosh and had Koresh. It seems that the real Esther hasadika is buried next to Mordechai.

ujm- Achashvarosh died about 4 years after the end of the Megilah. His and Esther’s son Daryavesh II was crowned king at the age of 6. At age 8 he allowed the Bais Hamikdash to be rebuilt.
Ujm,
I had the same question
Maybe achashveirosh died before Esther so Darius let her be buried next to Mordechai
