Nixon Foundation presents Architect of Peace Award to HIH Reza Pahlavi

The Richard Nixon Foundation presented on Tuesday, Oct. 22, its Architect of Peace Award to His Imperial Highness Reza Pahlavi, son of the late Mohammad Reza Shah of Iran, who the former president visited in a historic 1972 trip to Iran.

Nixon was the first American president to visit Iran in more than a dozen years when he made the stop after a visit to Moscow. He also visited the Shah later after his exile, and, as Pahlavi warmly remembered Tuesday, attended his father’s funeral in Eqypt.

Pahlavi spoke of Nixon’s loyalty to his father over the years, saying he “stood as a trusted ally and a steadfast friend.”

The exiled crown prince spoke to a large audience at the dinner held in the Nixon Library’s replica East Room.

The Architect of Peace Award was established in 1995 shortly after Nixon’s death “to honor individuals who embody his lifelong goal of shaping a more peaceful world,” Nixon officials said. “HIH Reza Pahlavi has been an advocate for democracy, human rights and religious freedom in Iran.”

Previous recipients include presidents Gerald Ford, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush as well as various political leaders such as Sens. Joe Lieberman and John McCain, Alan Greenspan, Donald Rumsfeld, Henry Kissinger and several ambassadors. George W. Bush received the honor earlier this year when he visited the presidential library.
