They have been the object of a sustained hate-campaign sponsored by the government, and also by anti-Baha'i organisations, and they are themselves censored so that people find it difficult to learn the truth about the Baha'is.
Anti-Baha'ism is to Iranian politics what anti-semitism was to French, Italian and German politics in the 1930s. Recently, anti-Baha'ism and anti-semitism have been fused, as it is increasingly claimed that Baha'is are "really" Jews (which is not true of course, Baha'is are not Jews, but Baha'is do condemn anti-semitism).

Bahai Zoroastrianism
Bahai faith
Yes, among other religions. Bahai, Zarostarian...
I am not sure what the question refers to; the Bahá'í Faith was founded in Iran. Bahá'u'lláh (as well as the Báb) were born there.
The Bahá'í Faith originated in a country called Persia - now known as Iran.
In Hindi, the word "Bahai" refers to the Bahá'í Faith, a religion that originated in 19th-century Persia (now Iran). It is an independent world religion that emphasizes the unity of humanity, the equality of all people, and the importance of spiritual and moral development. The followers of the Bahá'í Faith are known as Bahá'ís.
because the bahai religion is afraid that there are secrets that getting told to the outsideworld
Assuming you are asking about the founder of the Baha'i Faith, his name was Baha'u'llah (tr. "glory o f God") and he came from Persia (Iran).
The Bahá'í Faith was founded by Mirza Hussayn Ali in Iran, who became known as Bahá'u'lláh (ie., "Glory of God") after receiving a vision.
The Baha'i Faith originated in 19th Century Persia, present day Iran. The prophet, Baha'u'llah (ie., "Glory of God"), was born in Tehran. He was exiled first to Baghdad, later to Turkey, and finally imprisoned in Akka, in the Ottoman province of Palestine. So the world centre of the Bahai Faith is in what is now Israel. There are shrines and gardens there, and the Bahai international administrative institutions.
The Iran-contra scandal
The Bahai Faith originated in Iran in the 19th century. Its founder, Baha'u'llah, was exiled to Baghdad, then to Istanbul, to Edirne (in Turkey) and finally to Akka in Israel. Akka was used by the Ottomans as a prison city, like Botany Bay in the early days of Australian colonisation. Baha'u'llah died there in 1892. Because of this history, the Bahai faith has its holy places in Iran, in Iraq, in Turkey and in Israel Sen McGlinn
