Jews have lived interior the territories of at present's Iran for over 2,seven hundred years, because of the fact the 1st Jewish diaspora while Shalmaneser V conquered the (Northern) Kingdom of Israel (722 BCE) and despatched the Israelites into captivity at Khorasan. Jews who migrated to historic Persia regularly lived of their own communities. The Persian Jewish communities comprise the classic (and till the mid-twentieth century nonetheless extant) communities no longer in basic terms of Iran, yet of areas of what's now Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, northwestern India, Kirgizstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. the various communities have been remoted from different Jewish communities, that their type as "Persian Jews" is a controversy of linguistic or geographical convenience somewhat than unquestionably historic relationship with one yet another. in the process the top of the Persian Empire, Jews are theory to have comprised as much as 20% of the inhabitants So that's actual merely rhetoric that he's employing on condition that there has been a historic Jewish inhabitants in Iran 1300 years till now Islam.

Hmmmm.... Maybe Jews feel safer in Iran, given that the Iranian president repeatedly vows to 'wipe Israel off the map'.....!
Iran is, in fact, the only Arab state that hasn't kicked out its' Jewish community. In all other Islamic countries, the Jews were expelled; in Egypt and Iraq, for instance, there were lively Jewish communities, but not any longer.
There are not that many Jews still living in Iran, however; far less than there were originally. I imagine they choose to stay there because it's what they know, and all their family members are there.

I wonder what you would say if you had a scimitar at your throat.
The Jews that remain in Iran can't leave. The can't say they wanna leave without fear of being tossed into prison. If they practice or teach Judaism they can be tossed in prison. If they make or receive too many calls to Israel or the US, they are accused of spying and tossed into prison.
Sounds like Iran is the last bastion of freedom.

Yes, compared to Christian Europe, the Jews have traditionally been treated much better in Arab lands.
mea culpa -- Persia is not Arab. Yes, I know the Persians enabled the return from the 1st exile in Babylon.
Read Judith Miller's book, "God Has Ninety-Nine Names." She speaks highly of the Iranian people.
