ZOROASTRIANS IN IRAN

The subject of the history and status of the Zoroastrian communities of Iran since the coming of Islam has been addressed previously in Encyclopædia Iranica in an overall review and in detail, with focus on the provinces of Yazd and Kerman in the nineteenth century. The series of articles in the present entry will provide a still more comprehensive survey for the country—including, for example, discussion of Tehran and Isfahan.
