Best Answer

As of January, 2013 there are less than 15,000 Iranian/Persian Jews are living in Iran presently (with some estimates closer to 8,600). They are an older population, with many of the younger Iranian Jews, choosing to live and work outside Iran. They do have a reserved seat in the Majles (the Iranian Parliament) since several minority religions like Christianity and Zoroastrianism also have reserved seats.

Why does Iran want to wipe the Jews off the planet?

To be completely fair to Iran, its leaders have argued that they wish to wipe Israel off the map, not the Jews. (There is just the slight complication that half of the world's Jews live in Israel.) Iran has wanted to create a sphere of influence in the Islamic World for a long time and has been thwarted by the fact that it is Shiite-majority which alienates its Sunni-majority neighbors. As a result, the Iranian antagonism towards Israel is a way for Iran to take a powerful position in the Islamic World and overcome this prime detriment.
