Let's not kid ourselves - Mr. Ardeshir Zahedi was not a diplomat in its traditional, professional, technical, and academic milieu!
He was merely a Washington-based Iranian culture personallity whose only purpose was to organize parties and entertain diplomats and dignitaries!
He is one of the most incoherent, inarticulate, and inept officials of the late Shah's regime.
I bet that even the IRI regime's intelligence and extermination apparatus had determined from the get go that Mr. Zahedi was not considered as a threat but rather an asset for them otherwise he would have been long ago eliminated!
One wonders how, where, why, and for whom the members of the US administrations of the 60's and 70's got/used the derogatory phrase "carpet dealers" - Mr. Ardeshir Zahedi and his likes!
One often ponders why the Shah's regime collapsed and all the factors that led to that demise, both internal and external - Mr. Ardeshir Zahedi and his likes played an important role towards that eventuality!
So now we can tell why all these years the Islamists who terrorized and killed opposition figures in U.S and Europe never bothered to touch this guy. Let me also take a lucky guess (I don’t have evidence) I bet he worked with Khomeini and his gangs behind the scenes prior to 1979. so it shouldn’t be any suprise to anyone why shah's regime collapsed so fast after just a year of protests, lets just say enemy within!
Zahedi has sided with the IRI foreign policy ( and not necessarily the regime itself) eversince he saw RP was accepting Saudi money and tarnishing this family reputation as well as the desperate cause of regime change. He witnessed like all of us how RP betrayed the monarchist cause by openly rejecting his royal titles and the oath he made as King back in 1980 in Cairo.
Zahedi didn't betray the Shah ... RP did. As such he sees Iran's long term interests rather than side with RP's short sighted vision of a so called "democratic" Iran in the after math of the eventual downfall of the IRI. A downfall which is anything but certain but which has become the "dokoon" of RP in order to remain relative in the public discourse.
