Bandar-e Deyr (Template:Lang-fa; also Romanized as Bandar-e Deyyer; also known as Deyyer, Daiyir, Dayer and Qal’eh Dīr)[2] is a city and capital of Deyr County, Bushehr Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 18,454, in 3,882 families.[3] Bandar Deyr was a prominent commercial port in the Persian gulf,[4] and the Jewish settlers were dominating the local market[5]

Formation of the city

The land on which the city is located on was taken from Mohammad Zaman, a Bord Kuhn native and governor, in 1979, just after the revolution. His son later appealed the land seizing in court as Mohammad had died. It was unsuccessful. It is thought that up to 500 hectares were unlawfully seized.

Jewish community

Some historians believe that Dandar Deyr during the 13th century was exclusively inhabited by Jews,[6] and the Jewish community during the 19th century has an estimated population of 20 to 50 family.[7]
