The ayatollah-led regime will soon fall, says Iran’s exiled crown prince

[Disir]

Israel and Iran are archenemies; that is a simple fact of the modern Middle East. So much so that is it easy to forget that this was not always the case. In fact, Iran was the second Muslim-majority country, after Turkey, to recognize Israel as a sovereign state.

Back in the 1950s, after the pro-Western Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi came to power, relations between Jerusalem and Teheran were close. Israel had a permanent delegation in Tehran that served as a de facto embassy, and ambassadors were officially exchanged in the late 1970s.

That all changed in 1979, when the Shah’s regime was toppled by Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and Iran was declared an Islamic Republic. The Shah had no choice but to flee Iran with his family. He died on July 27, 1980 while in exile in Egypt, where then-President Anwar Sadat had granted him asylum.

Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the last Shah of Iran, believes that the majority of the Iranian people see the Islamic Republic’s track record in the global theater as a failure, and would be happy to renew relations with the Jewish state.

"...came to power..."
That's one way to put it.
Oh, how could it be that those silly Iranians don't love America?

Israel bought oil from the Iranians for many decades...until 1979. Actually there were two.. The first pipeline ran from Kirkuk, Iraq to Haifa until the Zionists fire bombed the refinery in Haifa in December 1947.

Then there was the Eliat-Haifa pipeline which closed in 1979.
