What is the largest religious minority in Iran?

Are Baha’is spying for Israel?

Iran’s intelligence ministry arrested several members of the Baha’i faith on spying charges on Aug. 1, 2022. Iran said the suspects were linked to the Baha’i center in Israel, where the religious group’s international headquarters are. In 2013, Iran’s top leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei published a fatwa (a religious decree) that bans all dealings with members of the Baha’i sect.
