Long-hidden reports reveal
Israeli-lranian missile pact
by Joseph Polakoff
I Sl\ Washington correspondent
WASHINGTON-An account
in the New York Times of an
Israeli-lranian agreement nine
years ago for improvement of mis
siles in I ran’s arsenal that was to be
kept secret from the United States
jarred Israeli Prime Minister
Shimon Peres' Washington visit.
The report, appearing on the
morning of his visit, said "the
Israeli-lranian project, code name
'Flower,' was one of six oil for
arms contracts signed in April
1977 inTeheran by Shah Mohammed
Riza Pahlevi and Shimon Peres,
then the Israeli defense minister.’’
It said "Israel was still perfecting
the missile when Ayatollah Kho
meini came to power in February
1979 and halted cooperation with
Israel.”
When Peres faced the media in
the State Department’s diplomatic
lobby with Secretary of State
George Shultz at his side, he was
asked by The Southern Israelite if
he would respond to the report
which had also been published ear
lier in the London Observer.
“What is this a history book?”
Peres questioned. When another
reporter interjected that it was
about the missile arrangement, the
prime minister said, Isn t that too
short a summary? I don’t think I
should make any comments.
Earlier, a State Department
spokesman, Charles Redman, when
asked about the report by The
Southern Israelite, read a state
ment prepared in advance by the
department. The text of his re
sponse follows: “I have no specific
comment on those reports. How
ever, the United States has never
approved the sale or transfer of
components or technology to Is
rael or Iran of the type of missile
that appeared to be the subject of
the press accounts.
“U.S. policy on the issue of the
spread of weapons which could
result in the proliferation of nu
clear weapons in the region was
and is clear. We have always op
posed any actions which could
raise the nuclear threat in the re
gion. All parties in the region are
aware of our views,” Redman said.
“Before the fall of the shah in
l979,”theNew York Times account
began, “Israel was involved in a
multi-billion dollar project to
modify advanced, surface-to-sur
face missiles for sale to Iran, ac
cording to documents said to have
been left in Teheran by Israeli
diplomats.” The Times added: “The
documents revealed that the Israe
lis told the Iranians that the mis
siles could be fitted with nuclear
warheads although this possibility
was not pursued. The two sides
agreed that if Iran wanted a nu
clear ability it would pose a prob
lem with the Americans.
“The Israelis left shortly before
the 1979 revolution,” the Times
continued. “The Israeli papers, in
English, were published in paper
back by the Iranians, who seized
the American Embassy in November
1979 and who had published more
than 50 volumes of secret docu
ments while there.
“The two countries, according
to transcripts of conversations in
the documents, intended to keep
the proposed missile improvements
secret from the U nited States,” The
Times reported. At that time Iran
and Israel still had trade missions
but not diplomatic relations and
Iran was the only Middle Eastern
country that recognized Israel’s ex
istence.
The Times reported that accord
ing to interviews with former offi
cials of the State Department, the
Pentagon, the Central Intelligence
Agency and the National Security
Council staff, American officials
were aware that Israeli and Iranian
military leaders had exchanged
secret visits, but they did not know
the nature of the discussions.
Two Iranian officials involved,
Gen Hassan Toufanian, the arms
procurer for Iran at the time, and
Adm. Kamal Habbollahi, the navy
commander, said in interviews that
the conversations recorded in the
documents were genuine, the Times
reported. The two Iranians now
live in the United States.
