Kennedy and Iran: Understanding the strategic importance of the Middle East, '''Kennedy approached the Shah of Iran for closer cooperation
and to stabilize Iran internally.
In April 1962, the Shah of Iran was invited to the United States. He was warmly welcomed and visited several military sites and NASA headquarters in Cape Canaveral, Florida, as well as a U.S. Atlantic Navy base in North Carolina. The Shah’s visit to New York was a majestic show of respect and welcoming for a royal family. A 20-minute video at John F. Kennedy’s Presidential Library and Museum highlights the major instances of this visit.
Kennedy was eager to prevent a Soviet influence in Iran by creating a firm alliance; however, his plans were not completely followed through after his assassination. Kennedy and his administration were convinced Iran needed rapid economic improvement, literacy, and social mobility in order not to become a fertile ground for communist influence.
U.S.-Iran relations under J.F.K. were strong and deeply rooted.
However, as was the case with some other leaders of the region, the Shah was not quite determined to go through the democratic changes Kennedy expected. There was also some uncertainty about the future of relations.
Kennedy’s tragic assassination on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, put an end to his initiatives regarding Iran and the world, but it also highlighted his life and personality as the most favored president in the history of the United States. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated John F. Kennedy, was himself killed by another shooter, but his death left the puzzle of this assassination unsolved – forever
