Following the death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on Wednesday, Iran’s Jewish community was forced to put out a letter condemning Israel.

“The terror action against Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran was a crime and a terror attack against international law. This martyr worked for freeing Jerusalem. He was under attack all his life, and he lost some of his family. He is now a martyr for defending Gaza and the poor Gaza people,” the letter reads.

“We pay condolences to the Palestinian hero, Ismail Haniyeh, and all the resistance warriors, including the Iranian leader. The Jewish community is waiting for a hard reaction against the terrorists who killed Haniyeh.”

Iran has the second-largest Jewish population in the Middle East, following Israel. Today, there are about 8,000 Jews in Iran, a significant decrease from the 80,000 to 100,000 who lived there prior to the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Officially, they are recognized as a religious minority and are allotted one seat in the anti-Israel parliament.

Jewish Iranians are allowed to pray at synagogues and can access kosher meat and Shabbat wine, despite the country’s alcohol prohibition. In 2014, the regime even honored Jewish casualties in the Iran-Iraq War that took over a million lives with a monument.

Despite these religious freedoms, Iran’s Jewish community must navigate a reality where they must do whatever is necessary to survive.

Hundreds of Iranian Jews were coerced into marching against Israel after October 7, in what Iran International described as the largest Jewish anti-Israel demonstration since 1979. Images of yarmulke-wearing men with anti-Israel signs quickly spread online, and the tyrannical regime also demanded their Jews to cut ties with Israeli relatives.
