If one compares figures like ~10 executed and ~400 jailed to the number of
people in the non-jewish population who have been executed or imprisoned by
the Khomeini regime, one will probably conclude that the Iranian jews have
done quite well under Khomeini relative to the rest of the population.
  
"Fiercely persecuted"? I don't know about that. Yes, a large number have
left the country, and where to? Israel of course. Thanks to an agreement
between the Khomeini regime and Israel. ***They trade jews for arms from
Israel*** and they do it in spite of a ban by the U.S. government on sale
of arms to the Khomeini regime.
   
Perhaps this explains why the administration has chosen Ghazzaafi for its
verbal attacks and is keeping quiet about Iran when Iran is the place where
the terrorists responsible for murders in Rome and Vienna were trained.
  
Who knows, maybe those terrorists were trained with those Israeli arms.
