Iran is not governed by "Sharia" law as commonly misunderstood. That term is often misused to describe a form of extremism linked to certain Sunni Muslim groups, not representative of most Sunnis, and distinct from Iran's Shia-majority system. Mischaracterizing Iran in this way reflects your lack of basic understanding about the region and its religious dynamics.
Iran hosts the largest Jewish population in the Middle East outside of Israel, with a complex but secure position in society, as noted in this article:

Additionally, Iranian-supported groups have historically protected ancient Christian communities in Syria, in contrast to U.S.-backed "Sharia" factions that contributed to the Syrian government's overthrow. And that is now running around mass murdering people.These facts are often overlooked due to reliance on misleading narratives, similar to those that falsely claimed Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. Such misinformation fuels misguided policies and conflicts, contributing significantly to broader geopolitical issues.
