Iran isn't the least bit interested in purging Christians or Zoroastrians. Christians are perfectly welcome to visit, live and co-exist in Iran which has plenty of well-attended Roman-Catholic cathedrals. Unlike Arab countries, Iran grants Christians a special exemption from the prohibition against alcohol provided they consume it inside their home. There is no persecution of Christians in Iran that I'm aware of - my in-laws are Iranian and my wife grew up in Tehran in what was basically a Catholic neighborhood.
The Jews and the Bah'ai's were/are the ones in the crosshairs.
