Before the Revolution

At one time Israel and Iran had a mutually prosperous political and economic relationship. Israelis living in Tehran enjoyed great privilege and wealth. Such was the much coveted “friendship of the Middle East”—Iran supplied oil while Israel helped with infrastructure and weapons.

Suddenly, the Israelis in Tehran were the enemies of the people and existed in fear for their very lives.
