Although Baha’ism is trying to hide its crimes in the Pahlavi ear against the Iranian nation; but Pahlavi era can be really called the period for Baha’ism development. Consequently, we observed sever disagreements and oppositions by the Baha’is against the Islamic system of government after the victory of the Islamic republic of Iran.

     Baha’ism gained power after the Pahlavi dynasty empowered. Baha’is dominated on the most sensitive and they posts of the government because Muhammad Reza Shah and Reza Khan attached with the Baha’is. [Refer to the history of 15 Khordad movement narrated by documents, Vol.1, document No. 82.2]. The field Marshal Fardoust (one of the prominent political men in the Pahlavi regime) writes in this regard: “Muhammad Reza was aware of the Baha’ism and the Baha’i people who were working in important and sensitive posts of the government and had favorable opinion towards them. Basically, Reza Khan had also a good relationship with Baha’is; so he appointed Asadullah Saniee who was a top Baha’i as Muhammad Reza’s special adjutant. Saniee became so influential later on. Hassan Ali Mansour and Hoveyda were prime ministers. “[The emergence and falling the Pahlavi kingdom, Vol. 1, p. 374]
