Baha’is were assigned the major post because of Muhammad Reza Pahlavi and his father’s attachment of Baha’is.

     (Refer to: the history of 15 of Khordad movement narrated by the documents, Vol. 1 document No. 82.2)

     Field Marshal Fardoust (one of the prominent intelligent and political statement in the Pahlavi regime) writes in this regard:

     “Muhammad Reza was fully aware of the Baha’ism organization especially the Baha’i people who possessed the major and sensitive governmental posts and had high opinion towards them. Basically, Reza Khan had a good relationships with Baha’ism to such an extent that Asadullah Saniee was assigned as the special adjutant of Muhammad Reza. Later on, Saniee became so influential. He then became the minister of war and court when Alam, Hassan Ali Mansour and Hoveyda were prime ministers.” (The emergence and falling the Pahlavi kingdom, Vol. 1, p. 374)

     Yes, after the Islamic Revolution, we could observe that Baha’ism were opposing the Islamic system of government continually.
