Exodus of Iranian Jews refers to the immigration of Iranian Jews from Iran in the 1950s and the later wave of emigration from the country during and after the Iranian Revolution of 1979, during which the Jewish community of 80,000 dropped to less than 20,000. The migration of Persian Jews after the Iranian Revolution is mostly attributed to fear of religious persecution, economic hardships, and insecurity after the deposition of the Imperial government.
