Members of Iran's Jewish community are maintaining a low profile amid the nationwide protests across the country, Israel's public broadcaster KAN News reported on Saturday night.
The community members are being careful to avoid approaching centers of unrest, the report noted.
The community consists of roughly 8,000 Jews.
Additionally, Rabbi Younes Hamami Lalehzar, a leader of the community, participated in a virtual conference in Tehran recently marking the sixth anniversary of the first Trump administration killing Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force arch-terrorist Qasem Soleimani.
Participants from Hezbollah and Hamas also participated in the conference, KAN noted.
Iran's Jewish community regularly faces tensions with Islamic Republic regime
Tensions often emerge between Iran's Jewish community and the Islamic Republic regime, particularly when Israel is involved.
In December, the Jewish representative in Iran's parliament, Homayoun Sameyeh Najafabadi, was summoned by Iran’s security agencies over Jewish Iranians liking and commenting on Zionist and Israeli content on social media.
The community made attempts to distance itself from Israel during the Israel-Iran war in June.
This included Chief Rabbi Yehuda Geremi declaring that the country’s Jews “stand in a single front in defense of our homeland.”
Nevertheless, Iranian authorities arrested at least 700 community members due to alleged ties with Israel.
