Iran was "cosmopolitan" before 1979 wasn't it?

I think it still is. Lots of Persians, but other ethnicities as well - Kurds, some Jews, others. I don't know if there were a bunch of Christian Iranians that left the country in 1979, if that's what you're thinking of. I think what happened in 1979 is the more moderate Persian Muslims left when the lunatic Persian Muslims took over, but I really have no idea.


The wealthy Iranians who were connected to the Shah left.
