Bahaismiran:

Concerning the ambulation of the Baha'i cult during Pahlavi era, it should be said that prior the British coup in 1299 S.H., Baha'ism was welded with the coup heads (Seyyed Ziya and Reza Khan).

According to the historical documents, the Baha'ism assembly played a key role in discovering and introducing Reza Khan to the British Colonialism by its agents such as Einul Molk Hoveyda (Hoveyda's father) for the coup 1299. Reza Khan had also promised the English to allow the cult activities to be free in Iran. During the second Pahlavi periods of time, highest political economic cultural and military posts were in the hands of Baha'is; such as the absolute influence in the Shah court (lieutenant general Abdul Karim Ayadi, the special physician of shah and the chairman of army public health) and the posts like being the prime minister for 14 years occupied by Amir Abbas Hoveyda, water and electricity and agriculture ministers (Mansour Rowhani), the ministry of foreign affairs (Gholam Abbas Aram), the minister of war (Lieutenant general Asadullah Saniee), the ministry of justice (Golam Reza Kiyan Pour), the ministry of commerce (Manouchehr Taslimi), the ministry of public health and sciences (Dr. Manouchehr Shahqoli), the chairman of physical education organization (Lieutenant general Parviz Khosrawani), the chairman of program and budget organization (Shapour Rasekh), the assistant of intelligent service organization (Parviz Sabeti) the chairman of army staff (Field marshal Ja'far Shafaqat), the chairman of the Iranian national aviation organization "Homa" (Lieutenant Ali Muhammad Khadem), the member of special office of Farah Pahlavi (Mohtadi, one of the Baha'is of Kashan), the number one man of the Iranian economy (Hojabr Yazdani), the owner of Iranian radio and television (Iraj Sabet known as Sabet Pasal), the chairman of Arj company (engineerArjmand), the capitalist and the owner of Misaqeh studio (Mehdi Misaqeh), the important pillar of security and intelligent service. Field marshal Fardoust writes in his diary: "As a matter of fact, Baha'ism was assuming a world in which Iran was the very promised land where must be owned by the Baha'is. So, they weren’t being prevented to occupy the key political jobs in the country. They weren’t intrinsically Iranian. They were intrinsically spies."
