No, but it does make Iran not a completely Islamist state.
If it were, its human rights would be even worse, and Jews and Zoroastrians wouldn't receive a special protection in the Constitution.
Islamism refers to a very broad collection of political ideas, ranging from the implementation of religious law to Anti-imperialism to Ummah Federalism. The fact that minorities exist within Iran doesn't negate the fact that Iran is still under an Islamist regime. The government is a twelver theocracy, with the supreme leader being the Ayatollah, some minority rights in their constitution(to say nothing of actual enforcement of these rights) doesn't change that.
My point is that it's not Taliban Afghanistan yet.
