       What do you think of this system that was preserved after the
       overthrow of Shah by the late Ayatollah Khomeini through 1979
       Iranian constitutional referendum that made the Islamic
       Consultative Assembly has religious minority reserved seats,
       especially the Jewish one?

       There are five reserved seats in the Iranian Parliament for the
       religious minorities. After the Persian Constitutional
       Revolution, the Constitution of 1906 provided for reserved
       parliamentary seats granted to the recognized religious
       minorities, a provision maintained after the 1979 Iranian
       Revolution. There are two seats for Armenians and one for each
       other minority: Assyrians, Jews and Zoroastrians.[1] Given that
       the Bahá'í Faith is not recognized, they do not have seats in
       the parliament.[2] Sunni Muslims have no specific reserved
       seats, but can take part in the ordinary election process at all
       constitutional levels.[3] Sunni members of parliament are mostly
       from areas with strong Sunni ethnic minorities like
       Baluchistan.[3]

       Rahmatollah Raffi is the present chairman of the board of the
       Tehran Jewish Committee preceded by Siamak Moreh Sedgh who is
       currently the Jewish Representative to the Iranian Senate. Dr.
       Moresadegh was preceded by Haroun Yashayaei.[4][5] On January
       26, 2007, Yashayaei's letter to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
       concerning his Holocaust denial comments brought about worldwide
       media attention.[6][7][8] The Dr. Sapir Hospital and Charity
       Center is funded through the Tehran Jewish Committee.[9] It is a
       charity hospital catering to hundreds of patients in need
       regardless of their faith or religious affiliation.

       "has been gratitude for the Dr. Sapir Hospital."[3]

       Of course the Jewish seat should have been given to a different
       minority. I'm also not sure why Armenians have two seats rather
       than just one.

       The Iranian media often touts how Jews living in Iran is
       evidence that Iran is not anti Jewish, but merely "anti
       Zionist". I even saw the Iran Observer X account tweeting about
       how Iran's anti Israel policy is about "saving" Jews from
       Zionism, with a comparison to Cyrus saving them from Babylon! A
       complete inversion (similar to "Zionist are Nazis"). If
       anything, Iran's anti Israel policy and Nebuchadnezzar's
       destruction of the first temple should be viewed in the same
       light. Unfortunately it isn't, because Persian "nationalism" is
       inherently anti Iraq (mainly due to Iran-Iraq rivalry from the
       Iran-Iraq war). I only hope that the Shia clerics don't give
       such retarded takes, and that this merely propaganda targeting
       Westerners.

       rather learn a little bit of their history and go from there,
