Arvin Nathaniel Ghahremani was executed after allegedly killing an attacker who ambushed him with a knife.
Dr. Younes Hamami, a leader of the Jewish community in Iran, wrote “We support all the armed forces working hard to defend the rights of the Iranian nation."
Rabbi Yehuda Gerami, Iran's chief rabbi, observed Tisha B’Av by reciting Eicha in Tehran, highlighting Jewish tradition amidst complex Iran-Israel relations.
The sun will continue to rise in the east and set in the west, but with terror-sponsor Iran on the verge of a nuclear breakout, there is still a shadow hanging over the Middle East and the world.
Iranian Jews, under regime pressure, condemn Israel for assassinating Hamas leader Haniyeh, revealing deep fears and coercion within the community.
“Iran’s Jews are hostages who could be attacked and arrested at any moment and under any pretext," reminded Haroonian, "Just as the regime does to others whom it wants to intimidate into submission.”
The Jewish association is set to host the six presidential candidates at the Yusef Abad Synagogue in the Iranian capital city.
The stay of execution, which the Israeli outlet Ynet said had been communicated via WhatsApp chats, followed a frenzy of advocacy on Ghahremani’s behalf by Jewish communities around the world.
New details emerged about Ghahremani who is being held in Kermanshah Central Prison in Western Iran. Ynet reported about the postponement of Arvin Nathaniel’s execution until next month.
