It’s not clear what "revisionist" means in this context, especially when pointing to Dhimmi.

I’ve never heard of it before today. I’m aware that Jews and Muslims live in Iran today. There is historical evidence, including written accounts, that some arrangement (Dhimmi?) existed over 1,200 years ago—whether social, legal, cultural, or, most likely, a combination. Under this system, the religions coexisted without the overtones of genocide within their communities.

That is true, in the sense that there are more than two jews left in Iran.

5x as many Iranian jews live in the USA now. 20x in Israel.

Iran has a population of almost 100 million, and the Hollywood Bowl could seat its jewish population twice over.

I found this: https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2025/11/22/iran-drops-the-facad...

Which has been enlightening. Thank you for highlighting the tenuous situation in Iran, which is not favorable toward Jews. This does shed light on the affair and seems credible to me.
