The Khorasaniha Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת ח'וראסאניה) was a Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at the junction of Zartosht and Valiasr Streets in Tehran, Iran. The synagogue was no longer in regular use after the mass exodus of Jews in the years following the Islamic Revolution. According to the Iranian regime, it was destroyed by US-American or Israeli airstrikes on April 7, 2026, possibly targeting an adjacent IRGC building.
