I've removed the claim that this building is a Sassanian monument that was originally a
Zoroastrian fire temple. I've searched across scholarly sources, including many that talk about the building in detail, and none make this claim. The only supposed source for this was a citation in the article to a source of unclear reliability and which I couldn't access. Given the absence of any similar suggestion in high-quality sources elsewhere, any such claim is thus
WP:EXCEPTIONAL at best. In fact, the sources state that the building's history is not well-documented, but they agree that it was built as a mosque somewhere in the 8th or 9th century (well after the Sasanian period). I've added some of those sources in the revised article. If there is some merit to a Sasanian origin, please make sure to bring up clear and accessible sources that say so.
