There are roughly 300,000 Christians in Iran. While they have "official government protection" several major Iranian laws are skewed against Christians such as requiring that Christian schools are run by Muslims, that no Christian can have a senior government post, and that no Christian can openly proselytize or eat pork or wine in public.
