US-Israeli strikes early on Tuesday "completely destroyed" a synagogue in Tehran, Iran's Mehr news agency and the Shargh newspaper reported. "According to preliminary information, the Rafi-Nia Synagogue... was completely destroyed in this morning's attacks," Shargh wrote. Judaism is one of Iran's legally recognized minority religions, and the country has a small Jewish community, although many members fled in the aftermath of the 1979 revolution. There are no publicly available official numbers, but there are thought to be a few thousand Jewish people in Iran.

    I would cheer, but these are probably some of the few Jews that don’t support Zionism.

    Of course the US and Israel are fine with targeting them.

      If they were Zionists they would have colonized Palestine but they chose not to so these are about as anti-Zionist as they come
