Iran's Jewish community remains one of the largest in the region, despite tensions between Iran and Israel. Members of the community in Tehran express concern for their safety, but emphasise that they are not part of the political conflict.<\/p>\n

The situation of the Jewish community in Iran<\/h2>\n

Iran's Jewish community is one of the oldest and largest in the region. It is estimated that there are around 8,500 Jews in the country, mainly in Tehran, Shiraz and Isfahan. They have their own synagogues, schools and cemeteries, and are represented in the Iranian parliament by one member.<\/p>\n

Community members say they consider themselves Iranians, while also observing Jewish traditions. According to them, they try to distance themselves from the political the confrontation between Iran and Israel<\/a>, The company's employees are also loyal to their country of residence.<\/p>\n

Reaction to the escalation of the conflict<\/h2>\n

Following the recent escalation between Iran and Israel, many Jewish families in Tehran are feeling anxious but continue to attend synagogues and perform religious rituals. In their comments, community members emphasise that they have nothing to do with Israeli policy and condemn any violence.<\/p>\n

Some community representatives reported that since the outbreak of the conflict, there has been an increase in suspicion among neighbours, but no open hostility has been recorded. The Iranian authorities officially declare the protection of the rights of national minorities, including Jews.<\/p>\n

Living under pressure<\/h2>\n

Despite the tense situation<\/a>, The life of the Jewish community in Tehran continues as usual. Believers gather in synagogues, celebrate religious holidays and maintain traditions. However, according to community members, they constantly feel the need to be cautious in their statements about international events.<\/p>\n

Some Jews in Iran express hope that tensions between the two countries will be reduced. At the same time, they note that their identity is inextricably linked to Iranian society.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
