Iranian Jews have been afraid to leave their homes since the killing of nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh due to fears of retaliation, Arutz Sheva reported.
The report said that a number of demonstrations have taken place throughout Tehran since the assassination and when some of them passed by shuls, the demonstrators stopped and shouted anti-Semitic slurs.
Following the assassination of Quds Force leader Qassem Soleimani in January, the Jewish community in Tehran, represented by Chief Rabbi of Tehran Rav Yehuda Grami and other Jewish leaders, condemned the incident and paid a condolence visit to Soleimani’s family members.
However, this time, the Jewish community has not made any public statement, possibly since this strike has been attributed to Israel, unlike Soleimani’s assassination, which was carried out by the US (although reports said Israeli intelligence helped the US to pinpoint Soleimani’s location prior to the elimination).
“Although the Iranian Jewish Organization condemned the assassination and comforted the family, the Jewish representative in parliament has not yet issued an official statement,” a Jewish source in Iran said.
“When Soleimani was eliminated, the finger of blame was pointed at the United States, so we were calm. Even when the nuclear scientists were eliminated, an accusing finger was never officially pointed at Israel. Now Israel is really blamed, and the situation is very explosive,” the Jewish source said.

Get out while you can.
For how long has the world been begging you to get out?
They provided many options since 80’s YOU KNOW WHAT I AM WRITING yet your stubbornness at every corner you thumbed your nose at options and refused.
The world is now sick and tired of your nonsense games and has left it up to you to do as you see fit.
Your money is worthless if life is lost Chalila.
Get the hell out. You are industrious people and can make it anywhere.
Stop playing games.
The world is tired of your games.
The Iranian Jews should simply tell their government that they, the Jews, are not Zionists and that the Zionists are lying to the world in their claim to represent Jews.
Judaism is a religion based only on the Torah, not on a land, culture, etc. LiHavdil, Zionism is an identity theft of the Jewish religion, and is based on land, culture, language, etc.
So, like any other country, (the Zionist government of) Israel represents only Zionist citizens of Israel, and not any other Jews.
