Jews Of Iran: A Community On Borrowed Time – ‚In the event of war with Israel, the mullahs will not hesitate to use them as bargaining chips‘ | I24news

In 1979, shortly after the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the coming to power of the mullahs, notables from the country’s Jewish community asked to meet Ayatollah Khomeini, the country’s new strongman ruler.
The Jewish leaders brought a tray filled with gold and silver in which they concealed a check for ten million dollars: the Jewish community of Iran had just bought its peace. The next day, Khomeini declared that anyone who attacked a Jew should be held accountable.
