Ahmad Mirfanderski, the last foreign minister of Pahlavi

” The progress of this talented diplomat continued, and on 20 Khordad 1343, the Shah issued a decree appointing him as the Political and Parliamentary Deputy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was in this position that he defended the capitulation bill in the Majlis. However, according to American officials, “he acted extremely weakly in defending the bill granting political immunity to American military advisers.”Mirfundarski refers to this bill as “an unnecessary trouble,” saying: “There was a Mr. Hertz there, who was the political advisor to the American embassy and a CIA agent. We talked for hours. I told him: “This single article will cause trouble. It has the appearance of capitulation – I repeat the appearance of capitulation – and the skilled hooligans will use it as a basis for opposition. What is this? You can introduce as many people as you want to the State Department as technical and administrative, military and civilian employees. The State Department will also issue immunity cards to them according to the Vienna Convention. This is your right according to the Vienna Convention. Just as we have the right in Washington. There is no need for us to take this single article to the House.” He said: “No, Congress is asking us to do this. The senators want it and have said that it should be this way.” He said: “I also agree with you to some extent, but we do not have the power to do so.”
