The Iranian Jewish community has dismissed fraudulent reports claiming the organized secret emigration of 40 Iranian Jews to Israel.

In a Wednesday statement the Jewish community denounced reports by foreign news outlets on the mass emigration of Iranian Jews describing it as a misinformation campaign.

“Considering the Jewish community's comfortable living conditions in Iran and its deep common cultural roots with the followers of other religions in the country, Iranian Jews would never consider organized emigration,” the statement declared.

Moris Motamed, the representative of the Jewish community in the Iranian Parliament and Siamak Mare-Sedq, the chairman of Tehran's Jews Assembly said propaganda campaigns against Iran would never manipulate the Jewish community.

They added that the community considers itself members of the Iranian nation; therefore they regard the enemies of Iran as their own.

The lies spread by the Zionist hegemony would never succeed in sowing dissension among Jewish and non-Jewish Iranians.

According to some news reports 40 Iranians landed in Israel on Tuesday. No details about their route of exit from Iran were given, but it was implied that they left with the help of the Israeli government and American evangelical Christians.
