In this picture taken on Thursday, Feb. 16, 2012, an Iranian Jewish man, prays at the tomb of biblical prophet Daniel, in the city of Susa, some 450 miles ( 750 kilometers) southwest of the capital Tehran, Iran. All but lost amid the heated talk about a possible Israeli attack on Iran’s suspect nuclear program are the thousands of Jews who live in the Islamic Republic and could be caught in the middle.
Aside from Israel, Iran is home to the largest population of Jews in the Middle East, with over 25,000 Jews residing in the country.
