Minorities of Iran feel at home more than the minorities of any other country in the world.

In another scenario by the US maximum pressure policy on Iran Trump came out to say that Assyrians of Iran are under pressure and oppressed. This is while all minorities have representatives in Iran's parliament and not only they are not suppressed but even get special helps from the government to conduct their rituals and traditions. They have their own schools and praying places.

Here’s Article 13 of the Iranian Constitution: Zoroastrian, Jewish, and Christian Iranians are considered the only recognized religious minorities. They may exercise their religious ceremonies within the limits of the law. And they are free to exercise matters of personal status that is marriage, divorce, inheritance and writing wills and religious education as decreed by their own rituals. The law says all.

Iran's leader has visited the families of minorities several times. The praying places of minorities in Iran are the safest places in Iran without any guards, unlike in many other countries, and that's because in addition to the government itself Iranian public respect and love these minorities and do not consider them as people of other nation.
