A high-level Iranian opposition delegation sent by Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi met with the Innovation, Science, and Technology Minister Gila Gamliel this week to discuss plans for a post-Islamic Republic Iran, as well as a resolution to Iran’s ongoing water crisis.
“The moment will come when the Iranian people will decide on their fate, and we will be here for them,” Gamliel stated.
Gamliel thanked “the amazing delegation that came here today in order to come and receive and learn all the technologies and all the developments and to really prepare Iran for the next day.”
“We carry a message of peace, friendship, and solidarity at this hard time,” said Dr. Saeed Ghasseminejad, an Iranian economist leading the seven-member delegation.
“Our group of Iranian economists and scientists is here to continue [maintaining the bond between Israel and Iran] at a time when the regime in Tehran has created a severe water crisis, electricity shortage, and a collapsing economy.”
He continued, stating that the delegation was in Israel “planting the seeds of the Cyrus Accords.
“My colleagues here, along with other experts, have produced a blueprint for Iran's rebirth called the Iran Prosperity Project. We are part of that effort to learn from Israeli scientists and plant the seeds of future cooperation between our two nations.”
The Cyrus Accords and the Iran Prosperity Project
The delegation's mission centers on the "Cyrus Accords," a vision for comprehensive Iranian-Israeli cooperation named after the ancient Persian king who liberated the Jews from Babylonian exile 2,500 years ago.
The visit marks a significant development in Iranian opposition outreach to Israel, following Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi's historic visit to the Jewish state two years ago.
The Iran Prosperity Project, which involves more than 100 advisors and experts working to revitalize Iran's economic and political future, has published a 170-page emergency reconstruction plan covering 15 critical areas, from political transition and security reforms to technical challenges, including energy, water management, and environmental restoration.
