The last king of Iran was his father-in-law. The last king of Egypt, his mother's brother. His own father could have reached the throne on August 28, 1332, but he stood by the young Shah and became the crown prince and prime minister by overthrowing Mohammad Mossadegh. This is the life story of Ardeshir Zahedi, the son of Lieutenant General Fazlullah Zahedi. A politician who very soon, thanks to his powerful father, who was one of the founders of the August 28 coup, his lucky star shone in the sky of politics in Iran. He became Del Shahnaz, the daughter of Shah Rabod and the son-in-law of the king of Iran. At the age of 31, he became the Shah's ambassador to the United States, and in his youth, when he was not yet 38 years old, he became Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs by order of the Shah. During his embassy in Washington, the American media was full of reports of Zahedi's lavish parties. The parties where the most beautiful American female stars were present and the guests were treated with Iranian caviar and the most expensive drinks and were sent away with the most exquisite handmade carpets and gold watches. Some American press called him the most attractive single man in Washington. A politician whose romantic relationship with Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Onassis, Barbara Walters and some other famous American stars was one of the most controversial reports in the American press. Stay with us until the end of this video to tell you the life story of a man who was one of the few Pahlavi men who served the Shah until the last moments of his life and stayed by his side. But in the last years of his life, Zahedi surprised and enraged the fans of Sultanate; When he defended the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic and openly said that he was proud of Qassem Soleimani, the former commander of Iran's Quds Force.
