The members of the deviant cult of Baha’ism could dominate on the key administrative and military posts during the Pahlavi regime specially the second one.
There were too many members of this Colonial cult in the army of the country; although the army must be away from all sorts of deviations.
They played an important role in weakening the defensive power of the army and stabilizing the presence of Russian, English and American advisors.
These Baha’i people were as follows: “the field marshal Abdul Karim Ayadi”, “the field marshal Qolam Reza Azhari”, “the field marshal ja’far Shafaqat”, “the major general Hussein Rastgar Namdar”, “the major general Moqarrabi”, “the major general Zarqam”, “the major general Parviz Khosrovani”, “the major general Asadullah Saniee”, “the Colonel Mohtadi”, “Qolam Abbas Aram”, “Mahmood Jam-Fereydoun Jam’s father-“, “the major general Fereydoun Jam”. They committed a lot of treasons against the Iranian country and the army.
The exorbitant expenses was spent for the foreign advisors; so that the number of American military advisors increased from 16000 in 1351 to 24000 in 1355.
If the victory of the Islamic Revolution didn’t happen in Iran, the number of American advisors would be increased to be 60,000 according to the report by American Senate.
However, there isn’t any exact statistics about the number of Baha’is in the Iranian army during Pahlavi period of time. In this regard we can refer to the report No. 49.146 dated Khordad, 27, 1337 by SAVAK.
