Very difficult. According to research I’ve been doing Islam is the religion of 99.4% of Iranians. 90-95% of Iranians are Shi’a and 5-10% are Sunni. Most Sunnis in Iran are Kurds, Larestani people (from Larestan), Turkomen, and Baluchs, living in the northwest, northeast, south, and southeast. We have in the past been supporting the Kurds. But as you can see, they are greatly outnumbered, so our efforts are well short of support by the more popular belief in the region. Way more.

We met some Iranians who were educated Christians and barely escaped with their lives. They had to leave virtually everything behind.
