The history of Jews’ presence in Iran
Jews are a tribe that their presence in Iran is several thousand years old. Even many of the Jewish groups inside the country, know themselves more Iranians than Iranian people do. They know the Iranian Jewish history’s start in the time when they were captured by the Achaemenid kings. Jewish minority has been observing a lot of ups and downs during various governments. They recall Cyrus the Great among the ancient kings in a good way, and his reputation is partly due to Jews’ advertising, but among Iranian rulers, Safavid governors somewhat imposed restrictive laws on the Jews which were because of influent of awakening Islamic scientists and scholars in their court. The Jews of past respect Cyrus I and Darius I the Achaemenid to the Pahlavi dynasty among Iranian governments. In Jewish sources talke about the Pahlavi era as a golden age. Although the number of Jews compared to the total population during the rule of the Pahlavi dynasty was about one to four hundred, the Jewish minority enjoyed special positions and privileges during this period. Habib Levy, Jewish author, writes: Undoubtedly accession of Reza Shah the great to the throne of Iran is one of the nation's leading historical facts.
The reign of this great king made a great revolution in improving the freedom and prosperity of the Jews in Iran, and we are not exaggerating if we say that in Reza Shah the great’s period things for Jews of Iran were like the time of Cyrus the Great, and the age of his son, Mohammad Reza Shah, was such as age of Darius I for Jews. Iranian Jews’ freedom and the implementation of the Balfour Declaration at the time of Reza Shah the Great and gathering of scattered Jews in this age, strengthen these two views. Iranian and especially Iranian Jews owe this Holy King in a great way.
Of course, all these words were delivered at a time when there is no news of Zionism, and despite of all the claims of patriotism, when it comes to Zionism, we see that the history proves something else about the Jews. The formation and existence of the Zionism community among Iran’s Jews returns to the time before the rise of Reza Khan and after the Constitutional. Amnon Netzer in a Jewish magazine writes: During Ahmad Shah (Qajar)’s era, almost all Iran's political figures including Reza (Khan), commander of the army, were aware of all Zionism activities in Iran, and they even went to some of the Zionism celebrations.
The first Jewish organization
however, the organization that later caused the formation of the Zionist society, was an association that was called "Sifat Abar". The purpose of this forum that day was raising the level of Jewish life and culture and uniting them and promoting Hebrew. This fact cannot be concealed in the modern history that Zionist Organizations including a number of Jewish leaders and prominent figures of Iran, besides communication and organizational links with global Zionism, formally had extended activities at the time of the rise of Reza Shah and the Pahlavi dynasty. Iran’s Zionists in these historical sections used page header of "Central Assembly of Zionism organizations in Iran" without any fear in their correspondences with government offices. The letterheads were printed in Persian and Hebrew letters, depicting the six-pointed star, and correspondence of Iranian Jewish communities were along with signature and stamp of the head of the Central Association depicting the six-pointed star.
Jews in the time of Reza Shah and Mohammad Reza Shah, in addition to the economic domination, had a wide influence among politicians and court organization as far as they had veto of the highest official in the country when necessary. In one of the documents relating to the time it has been said about how Mohammad Reza Pahlavi interfered in publishing a newspaper from the Jewish Association of Iran:
Mr. Farhad Nik Khah, adviser to Prime Minister
the negotiations of the Commission dated 3/3 / (1356) 2536 pointed out that the prime minister asked about Iran's Jewish Association based on publication of the Association:
In this regard, the prepared report was mentioned for the majesty and you declared: "Immediately allow them" (!) Please in commandments of obedience to royal orders, take action immediately to publish the newspaper. Of course the legal process should be done................ Secretary General
Influence on governance
After the coup of 28 Mordad 1332 (1953) Relations between Iran and Israel took an upward turn as much as Zionism benefited from Persia in the political, economic, military, cultural and other fields. Israel's Mossad spy agency with penetration in the country's intelligence agency (SAVAK), which had a decisive role in its formation, could have information on Islamic groups, and it could attract the attention of scattered Jews in the country and organize them in the purpose of Zionism objectives. In this regard, many high-ranking officials and officers of SAVAK, trained intelligence lessons in Israel. In this era, the political relations between Iran and Israel reached to the point that Alam writes in his memoirs:
Today in Persian date is Shahrivar 15th, after dinner the king took me into a corner and ordered me to tell Ozra that his Minister could be granted (come) at any time he wishes.
In the field of information we can say that SAVAK was as a strong arm for the Zionists, because many SAVAK’s officials were trained in Israel, and were Mossad’s agents and that is why Uri Lubrani writes in his forecasts in July 1978:
"The king will not last more than two or three months" and his predictions came true, and a few months after that Shah fell, while at the same time America's intelligence agency, CIA, and the British spy devices reported Iran’s situation as a calm situation and anticipated no unexpected incident that this implies a complete mastery of the Mossad intelligence on the situation in Iran. William Sullivan, America's last ambassador in Iran, knows the predictions of Lubrani based on information that Israelis received from their unique espionage network in Tehran, because they were in contact with a group of over eighty thousand Jews who had interfered in all aspects of the country. Of course we shall add the information help of Bahaists and non-Jewish organizations, since at that time the Bahaists had a great penetration in the court the government’ systems as well as Jews.
One of the goals of the Zionist regime that was pursuing in Iran as intelligence activities, was surveillance of organizations and individuals who conducted activities in support of the Palestinian liberation movements, and this was very important for the Zionists, because they needed these data for realization of their objective in the occupied territories. In addition to political influence and domination of Zionism during the Pahlavi era, they were ahead of the others in economic fields as well. For example, according to the SAVAK’s documents in 1347 in addition to the chairmanship of ESCO, most difficult jobs were also in Jewish hands in Isfahan.
The influence of Jews in Oil Company in Abadan, Shiraz’s plant fertilizer company and their expand presence in oil-rich areas, are other examples of their influence in Iran's economy.
Helping to build a golden calf
Jews, coincided with the flourishing of the Zionist regime, had a very favorable economic situation in Iran. Some Jews and Jewish circles played a serious role in strengthening the foundations of the Zionist regime when they collected and accumulated a lot of wealth and then transferred them to the Palestinian occupied country. On the same basis in 07.06.1337, because of the activities of Israel's representatives, Iranian Jews were supposed to offer $ 5 million low-interest loan to Israel. Of course, collecting donations for the occupiers of Zionist regime in Palestine had started even before the establishment of Israel.
It is interesting to know that the Zionists used a psychological principle, which was enormously influential, in collecting wealth and donations to build their fake state as it is still going to continue. in the way that Samaritan built the golden calf by collecting gold ornaments and jewelries of Israelites, so that each person according to what amount he had helped, had attachment to the calf of gold, and could know himself as the owner and partner of it and consequently could stand in front of the Prophet Moses (Peace be upon him). in this case, the new Samaritans also by collecting money from the Jews, were trying to make sense of belonging in their new but different calf (Israel), so by using this powerful psychological principle could have their help and get them interested in their own wealth to generalize the newly established homeland, because the effect of these helps, not only in the creation of support, but it will also be effective in justification of next Zionists’ crimes as of today still helping the occupying regime continues in this way, and they mind this point in most of their goods and advertisement services.
At the time of the Pahlavi regime, the Zionists were active in the field of education and culture to the extent that in addition to be active in publications, books, movie theaters, schools and special institutions, they were active in strengthening the Zionist goals. The most important of these schools and institutions are as follows: Allianz schools which were founded in Qajar’s era during the kingdom of Naser al-Din Shah. At the time with the lag of Iran from the convoy of science, it was natural that later most of the political-cultural figures of the country would be graduates of these schools and according to their knowledge advance the goals of Zionism in country.
Cultural Center of Cyrus the Great was also one of the cultural institutions that was founded to apparently enhance Jewish culture and create a suitable environment for the artistic, cultural and social activities, but in the SAVAK’s documents it was introduced as an information institution. Although other cultural institutions and associations and centers were established for cultural and social works, but in fact they all were established in order to create unity between Jews and encourage them to immigrate to Israel and collect money for the usurper state of Israel. Even holding weapons training and military technology courses in schools of Jews were for familiarizing Jewish youth and children with the use of firearms and military, security, and information training on training programs related to Jewish schools that the SAVAK had noted them in its reports. For example, SAVAK’s agents reported in this regard:
Every day from 10 to 14 PM at the elementary school for Jewish children in the street Persepolis (current Taleghani) near the intersection of Vesal Shirazi number 168, students between 6 and 12 years are trained of rifles and pistols guns by Israeli instructors, and students get familiar with tactician.
in other report it has been mentioned that terroristic operations training and tactician education are taught to Jewish youth under supervision of Israeli terrorist groups:
Following previous report about a summer camp for Jewish students in Kazem Abad of Karaj, the agent personally observed that about 170 students of the Kholutes Institute under supervision of the administrators of the Palmach, were rehearsing and learning military operations and were crossing the river and others operations in the mentioned place at 9 am on Thursday 39/4/9. We shall add that the camp continues to the end of the summer and all Jewish cultural institutions are required to send 170 trained students every 15 days to do the above practices. The main purpose of this action is to send them to Israel and the entry of students into the ranks of the Israeli army. Yehuda Aghel, SAVAK’s agent, was also seen in this area.
A plan for the occupation
Jews prepared an eight-point plan in Reza Shah’s time, which was apparently for building Iran and raising living standards for people, but in fact in the look of researchers, it was a plan in that time the Jews designed for occupation of Iran with the slogan of “the Zionist without Zion” and according to it, the Zionists around the world, with specific requirements, put of a large part of the fertile lands of Iran under the support of so-called charity associations, and they wanted to own these lands by the occupation and possession of them.
A plan that its realization could bring something like today's fate of Palestine for Iran.
However, the plan had been done in many parts of the world such as South America and Canada and the outcome was nothing but affiliation with Zionism. In a speech, in the days following the constitution and during the rule of First and Second Pahlavi Kings, the World Jewish (World’s Zionist) in addition to reigning over the destiny of this country and even involving in the appointment and dismissal of the ministers directly, was seeking to destroy Islam and the Jews’ domination on the country.
Iran during the Pahlavi era not only was the military-information base of Jews and America and transfer station of Jews to Israel, but important government projects and programs were run by the Jews and Freemasonries and they were given to the King and other executive officers for applying them. (Amir Abbas Hoveyda who was the prime minister of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi about thirteen years, was the grandson of Mirza Yaqub Yehuda and a famous Bahaist and high-ranking member of Freemasonry in Iran) one of the projects that had been developed by the Jews and Freemasons, was the white revolution or revolution of the King and the nation. The scheme was designed by one of famous Jews in the name of Walt Rustow.
The plan included six principles that its principles were land reform, nationalization of forests, reforming electoral laws, women's suffrage and representation. Each of these principles had targeted one of Iran's national or religion interests. For example, with the so-called land reform, they satisfied small farmers from the government, on the other hand, it lead to end of the export of wheat and made Iran one of wheat Importers. Plan to give legal right to women's suffrage was a kind of open-minding gesture for government on one side, and it was a blind imitation of Western freedom, and despite the time that even men had no right to vote, it was more like a hoax than a reform, because due to the corruption of court and the rule most elections were commanding ones than being legal, and critics never succeeded in the rule and government.
World Jewish influenced any part of the world that it desired, and it could achieve its goal by abundant financial resources most of which was provided by the likes of Rothschilds and with the help of Machiavellian politics that resolved all moral barriers. Today, as in this article has depicted, the United States is somehow forced to coordinate their policies with global Zionism policies. Many countries like Iran during the Pahlavi era, are totally under the sovereign control of Zionism, though they seem to have a kind of indigenous government, and they seem to be involved in a neo-colonialism.
