Strikes 'completely destroyed' synagogue in Iranian capital

U.S.-Israeli strikes early on Tuesday "completely destroyed" a synagogue in Tehran, Iran's Mehr news agency and the Shargh daily reported.

"According to preliminary information, the Rafi-Nia Synagogue... was completely destroyed in this morning's attacks," Shargh wrote.

Judaism is one of Iran's official religions, and the country has a small Jewish community, although many members fled in the aftermath of the 1979 Islamic revolution.
