Does Iran allow Christians and Jews to run for political office?
Wiki User

Iran reserves one seat in the Majles (Iranian Parliament) for Jews and two seats for Christians. These seats are guaranteed to those minorities, but, by contrast, Jews and Christians cannot run for any other seat in Parliament. There are also numerous administrative offices that are open to all Iranians on paper, but for which it is almost guaranteed that a Muslim will have priority.
