yes, in tiny shrinking communities in Iran and Iraq. Oddly, Saddam protected them but since the war they have suffered many casualties from the dominant Muslims and many have been forced to move. the largest community are the par sis of India, who are Zoroaster's that live in mamba
I saw them in mamba. they still do the tower of silence, leaving there dead bodies on top of the tower for the vultures as their funeral rights

Yes it does, with around 200,000 adherents still practicing it. It used to be much larger, and was the primary religion of Persia/Iran, before the rise of Islam.
