Actually its not so startling that Persian diplomats lent Jewish refugees from the Nazis a hand. Before the last Shah was overthrown in Iran by the Islamic revolution 30 odd years ago relations between Persians and Jews had been historically cordial for centuries and that applied to Iran/Israel relations prior to the Shah's ouster. So this is either a reflection that the Iranian body politic is not in step with their great leader or its some kind of propaganda ploy to perpetuate a familiar, contradictory, and hypocritical line of BS amongst many of Israel's enemies - that they hate Israel but not Jews.
By the way its interesting to note that the current megalomanic running Iran is threatening both the Great and the Little Satan with doom on October 12.
