“Globally celebrated as a lifelong champion of world peace and understanding, Ardeshir Zahedi shaped more than three decades of geopolitical history.” Dedication Plaque, State University of Utah Atrium 2015 “To Ardeshir Zahedi who always remembers and is always remembered: from his friend Richard Nixon” President RICHARD NIXON July 1973 on a personal gift to AZ with two pens and flags of Iran and America and two hands shaking “Ardeshir was a serious effective and visionary diplomat, who negotiated the release of 165 hostages who had been captured and held at gunpoint by Hanafi Moslem terrorists in Washington, D.C., in March 1977.” Senator Edward William Brook “Most speeches were delivered some four decades ago but there is never a date for truth. One may even regret that the same ideas are even more relevant today as selfish pursuits and arrogance of the mighty continue to betray our noble dreams for a better world. We sometimes feel that we have been “ progressing backward!” The Editors “We should not worry if we do not pray to the same God, believe in the same tenets, share the same traditions, or speak the same language, for it is in this variety that lie our hope and our strength.” AZ “Ardeshir Zahedi had not only given all who crossed his path a lift in making diplomacy work, in making the U.S. and Iran closer than ever before, he had been generous not only to the powerful, but to Washington charities, and, very quietly, he had given money even to strangers in need whom he read about in newspapers. He had braved angry American campuses to tell students not only how great his country was, but also how great our country is. I have known no one in his position who at the same time has proven his loyalty to his own country and has so much love for our country” President RONALD REAGAN
