1965

Siyamak More Sedgh (, Hebrew: סיאמכ מורה-צדק; born 1965) is a Jewish Iranian politician and doctor who was the holder of the Iranian Parliament's reserved seat for the Jewish minority from 2008 to 2020, and is also the chairman of the Jewish charitable institution Dr. Sapir Hospital and Charity Center.

He has been referred to as Iran's "No. 1 Jew."

In his political capacity, More Sedgh has made efforts to improve the position of Jews in Iranian law and society, such as by allowing Jewish children in public schools to not go to school on Saturdays.

He supports gradual reforms within the current Islamist framework.

In foreign policy, he has repeatedly criticized Israel, which he has dubbed the "Zionist regime".

More Sedgh was born in Shiraz in 1965 to a prominent family who had led the local Jewish community since the Safavid era.

1990

In 1990, More Sedgh received a Doctor of Medicine degree in General Surgery, summa cum laude.

More Sedgh's wife immigrated to the United States in the late 1990s; he chose to remain in Iran because he did not think he could live outside his native Iranian culture.

He successfully defended his seat in the next two elections.

2013

In a 2013 interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria, More Sedgh said:

Of course, being a Jewish minority in a religious country have some problems.

But after the revolution, our problems are being solved step by step.

Today, our condition is better than yesterday.

And today, our condition is much better than 10 years or 20 years ago.

More Sedgh has pointed to changes in compensation payments for deaths, which used to be different for Muslims and non-Muslims but have since become equal, as an example of improving Jewish lives.

Going to the parliament for me is a duty for my country and the Iranian Jews.

My work in this hospital is my duty as a human being.

Although Dr. Sapir Hospital is located in a traditionally Jewish quarter of Tehran, most Jewish people have since left and the vast majority of patients and staff are Muslims.
