Having had the privilege of serving at the top of various governmental departments, I can testify upon major Middle East problems. Particularly, I have seen first-hand the Iran of both yesterday and today, and I have a certain sense of its future.
After the restoration of national sovereignty to Algeria in 1962, I had the opportunity to serve the public interest through leading roles in energy policy, diplomacy, and finally as prime minister. In these diverse capacities, I was in contact with major Arab and Muslim countries and particularly with Iran both before and after its revolution.
I visited the country in September 1968 and met with the head of the Iranian oil company, former PM Manouchehr Iqbal. During that visit, I clearly sensed the Iranian people’s dissatisfaction with the situation and the regime.
