Israel and Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979.

maintained close ties — particularly on energy and security — during the reign of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was tossed in a popular 1979 uprising led by Islamist holy mans.
The two countries have since become bitter enemies, with Iranian leaders regularly calling for the Jewish state’s destruction and backing gangs committed to this goal.
Pahlavi’s itinerary includes talks with government officials and a stop at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. He will also visit a desalination plant and meet experts in water and agriculture, as well as with members of the Baha’i community in Haifa. During the trip, he said he plans to deliver a speech "outlining his vision for an Iranian democracy," according to the statement.
"The Iranian and Jewish people have ancient bonds dating back to Cyrus the Great and Queen Esther," Pahlavi was quoted as saying, referring respectively to the Persian king who allowed the Jews to return to Zion from exile in the 6th century BCE and the Jewish heroine of the Purim story.
"As the children of Cyrus, the Iranian people aspire to have a government that honors his legacy of upholding human rights

, including through the restoration of peaceful and friendly relations with Israel and Iran’s other neighbors in the region."
"A democratic Iran will seek to reestablish ties with Israel and our Arab neighbors — perhaps as part of a future Cyrus Accords," Pahlavi said, in a play on the US-backed Abraham Accords that saw Israel normalize diplomatic relations with several Arab states.
While Pahlavi is in Israel, Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel will serve as his host.
Pahlavi left Iran at age 17 for military flight school in the US, just before his cancer-stricken father Mohammad Reza Pahlavi abandoned the throne for exile.
Pahlavi, who still resides in the US, has called for a peaceful revolution that would replace holy manal rule with a parliamentary monarchy, enshrine human rights and modernize its state-run economy.
Whether he can galvanize support for a return to power is unknown. His father ruled lavishly and repressively and benefitted from a CIA-supported coup in 1953.
