SAEDNEWS: Ardeshir Zahedi, a Former Official of the Pahlavi Regime, Exposes Farah Pahlavi’s Corruption in His Memoirs

The Beautiful Child the Shah Hated but Farah Supported

According to Saed News, Ardeshir Zahedi wrote in his memoir:

“One of the Queen’s close friends had remained in Iran, and His Majesty feared that she might fall into the hands of the revolutionaries and be executed. This person was Mr. Fereydoun Javadi, whom His Majesty despised, and there was always tension between him and the Queen over this individual.

The Shah used to call him a ‘pretty boy’ and often told the Queen it would be wise to keep such handsome boys at a distance, but the Queen paid no attention and continued to support Fereydoun Javadi. In fact, from 1974 or 1975 onward, after His Majesty had allowed the daughter of General Azad to enter the palace, the Queen began associating with people like Fereydoun Javadi, partly in retaliation and revenge against the Shah.

Fereydoun Javadi eventually managed to escape Iran and arrived in the United States. While the Shah was hospitalized in New York, he reunited with the Queen, causing distress and anguish for the Shah in the final days of his life.”
