What is the condition of the Jewish community in Iran?
Motamed: Fortunately we have no problem in the Jewish community’s living conditions. People often ask if there was any change after President Khatami’s was succeeded by President Ahmedinejad and if there was any change in conditions for religious minorities, especially Jews? We always answered that fortunately and happily, that there was no change, and we hope that there will be no change in a negative direction.. Do you ever consider emigrating to Israel or the USA? Emigration? I haven’t thought about it and haven’t decided anything. For the time being all my family members are living in the United States. What is most difficult about life in Iran? There is no difference between the way of life of the minority communities and the main body of the society, which means the Muslims. A couple of years ago, it was reported that the Iranian government was going to force Jews to wear a star or marking on their clothes. What was the truth behind this? Unfortunately, this was fake news publish
