After weeks of internet shutdowns across Iran, overnight Monday, sources close to Iran's Jewish community from another country said the community's situation throughout Iran is good, with no wounded or dead among Jews.
"The Jewish community does not participate in protests and is loyal to the regime. In recent days, it was published on social media that there are deaths among Iran's Jewish community, but this is completely untrue," those sources claimed.
However, several Jews were arrested on suspicion of involvement in protests, but the community denies any connection to the protests, claiming they were arrested by mistake. Community leaders hope they will be released soon. The community emphasizes that loyalty to the regime is absolute.
Meanwhile, Jewish life in Iran has continued during these weeks as normally as possible, with prayers and Torah classes delivered by rabbis and leaders, and synagogues open as usual. School studies are proceeding as scheduled, including Jewish studies.
Meanwhile, minority representatives in Iran, including Jewish representative in the Iranian parliament Homoyon Sameh, published a statement supporting the regime and against Israel and the United States. "Following the hatred from the US government and the occupying Zionist regime, and their actions against our beloved homeland Iran, the religious communities of all religions in Iran strongly condemn their evil actions."
The statement said, "It is clear and evident to everyone that the interference of the US and the child-killing Israeli regime is not only out of compassion for Iran and Iranians, but also to create chaos and insecurity, incite the country's youth, and create psychological warfare."
The statement states, "There is no awareness that Iran's residents, regardless of race, religion, and ethnic origin, under the flag of the Supreme Leader and his wise steps, are united and defending their country's territorial integrity and national security and condemning the inhuman and terrorist actions of these barbaric and cruel governments."
The statement further stated, "It is clear that the malicious, deceitful, and inhuman actions of the occupying Zionist regime and the US government pose a threat to the national sovereignty of our beloved Iran and stand in clear contradiction to international law."
The statement emphasized, "We, representatives of religions, express our condolences to all families of the tortured martyrs, and thank the noble and great Iranian nation for supporting the Islamic Republic and the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, and for expressing the nation's solidarity. We are confident that the noble Iranian nation, as it has done throughout all these years, will defend its honor and independence with unity and solidarity, and confront the evil and destructive goals of hostile governments."
