Open Letter to Reza Pahlavi

The story is in German but Israeli journalist Shraga Elam has provided me with a translation which I'll quote from here.

"Israel imports Iranian oil on a large scale even though contacts with Iran and purchasing of its products are officially boycotted by Israel. Israel gets around the boycott by having the oil delivered via Europe. A reliable Israeli energy newsletter, EnergiaNews, reported this last week [March 18] ...

"EnergiaNews got the information about the Iran trade from sources with ties to the management of Israeli Oil Refineries Ltd ... According to EnergiaNews the Iranian oil is liked in Israel because its quality is better than other crude oils.

"The report by EnergiaNews editor Moshe Shalev states that the Iranian oil reaches various European ports, mainly in Rotterdam. It is bought by Israelis and the necessary European bill of lading and insurance papers are supplied. Then it is transported to Haifa in Israel. The importer is the Eilat-Ashkelon Pipeline Co (EAPC), which keeps its oil sources secret."

Finally, Mr. Pahlavi, if you want Iranians to like you, you have to earn it. You can’t build love on hate – that is, expect people to love you by making them hate the IRI. Sadly, your advisors fail to tell you when to speak and when to be silent so as to benefit Iran. As they say, speak now or forever stay silent.

Going down the list of attendees, Weekly Standard’s editor, William Kristol, who serves on the Shalem’s board of directors (incidentally two months after the Iraq invasion he opined: “[T]he war in which we are presently engaged is a fundamental challenge for the United States and the civilized world ….The liberation of Iraq was the first great battle for the future of the Middle East. The creation of a free Iraq is now of fundamental importance…But the next battle ..will be for Iran.”[i][i] ), and Israel’s man of the year comes to mind. He would a terrific start since he owns a media empire and if you could persuade him to lobby on Iran’s behalf and inform the public how wrong it is to steal a country’s treasure in violation of all international laws, it would help your motherland greatly.
Others present at that meeting and discussing the danger Iran posed to the world were Richard Perle, Michael Rubin, Michael Novak, Joshua Muravchik, and Reuel Marc Gerecht from the pro-Israeli American Enterprise Institute (AEI)[ii]. Since you have cozied up to them, perhaps you can salvage our national treasure by asking them to put in a good word for us. You see, the Iranian people have a hard time understanding why you are so silent in the face of all this when you know so many influential friends.
And while I am at it, shamelessly asking so many favors, in case you have been too busy writing all your books and giving interviews, you may not have noticed that they are calling the Persian Gulf axxxxx Gulf. Since you have both Pentagon and Arab connections, if not for Iran and Iranians sake, at least for your poor father who must be turning in his grave to see you standing by idle, too busy promoting yourself to care about Iran.
You need not be shy. It is an open secret that the CIA had to stop supporting you after the Iran Contra Affair came to lig
