Siamak Moreh Sedgh is the current Jewish member of the parliament, replacing Maurice Motamed in the 2008 election. In 2000, former Jewish MP Manuchehr Eliasi estimated that at that time there were still 60,00085,000 Jews in Iran; most other sources put the figure at 25,000.[56] The United States State Department estimated the number of Jews in Iran at 20,00025,000 as of 2009

We are Iranians, and we have been for 30 centuries, said Ciamak Moresadegh, the Iranian Jewish parliamentarian.
