There was an excellent Time Magazine photographer named Barry Iverson who specialized in the Near East. His web site is here: https://barryiverson.com/. Assuming this really is him (and I think that is very likely), then  Support. It would be nice to have a more formal, somewhat better documented request, though. -- WikiPedant (talk) 17:54, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

•  Delete We certainly don't accept copyright infringement, and regardless of whether the account is real or not; I support the deletion of this photo. because I found this article and gettyimages page and it published in 1990 so this doesn't make it a public domain according to Egyptian copyright law 2002, When I uploaded this photo in 2018 I never found any source or archive showing the name of the photographer and this picture is spread a lot on the internet and books covers too, and I relied on the source from a well-known newspaper but they are wrong. --Ibrahim.ID ✪ 19:31, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

  note: I don't see any photo on the time page, and the gettyimages one is different (although similar, maybe part of the same photoshoot?) Platonides (talk) 17:07, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

for admins: Because this image has been widely used in many projects please wait to replace it with another free file by CommonsDelinker before deletion, my request is here --Ibrahim.ID ✪ 20:06, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
