Pahlavi sought to decriminalize Israeli ties

A senior Iranian expert in Palestinian issue says an investigative movie currently on cinema screens in Tehran has helped divulge the extent of the ousted Pahlavi’s regime to expand its ties with the occupying Israeli regime.

Ali Reza Soltanshahi also said the Pahlavi regime strived to decriminalize relations with Israel in the eyes of the regional countries.

The expert was speaking to the Qods News Agency on ‘Love and Treason’ that is currently on public screens in Tehran.

Soltanshahi said the movie recounts how the Pahlavi regime started to establish ties with the regime through joint ventures in economy.

The expert said Qazvin and Khuzestan were among major areas where Israel was building ties with the ousted regime through economic projects.

Soltanshahi added that ‘Love and Treason’ sheds light on other Israeli projects in Dasht-e Moqan area, adding that both sides have sought much to hide the case from the public.

The expert thanked the movie director, Davoud Bidel and urged other Iranian directors to produce works on the history of Pahlavi’s cooperation with the Zionist regime.

Soltanshahi also thanked the major Iranian pro-Palestinian NGO, Society in Defense of the Palestinian Nation (SDPN) for promoting the movie.
