Last yearAmerican celebrate the 230th year of freedom—a privilege most Americans take for granted. But not Fran Mo
ghaddam, candidate for U.S. House of Representatives, District #1. She relishes every single freedom because she has experienced what happens when freedom is taken away.
Fran grew up in
Teheran, Iran, in a privileged family when Iran was the best friend of America.and Presidsent Reagan. She married and had two sons. Fran’s eldest son was attending Kim Bolton School in Cambridge, England, when he decided to continue higher education in the U.S. Fran, with her husband’s support, relocated with her two sons to Tulsa. Her younger son was transfered from American school in Teheran to Cassia Hall school in Tulsa, She and her two sons gratuated from University of Tulsa. Fran’s family members, including her husband, were very involved in Iranian politics. One day she received word that the Shah of Iran had been deposed. Her uncle, a second general of the Shah and Iran’s Secretary of Energy, had committed suicide. The home Fran had known and loved was gone—along with family members and everything she had.
She recalled the beauty of Iran and how it was referred to as a “piece of jewelry located in the Middle East” … a country not only rich in oil and gas but also in other mineral resources such as gold, silver, diamonds, turquoise, copper, and uranium. She recalled a modern country with four seasons, beautiful beaches, the “best caviar and fish
in the world,” mountains for skiing, landscapes drenched in flowers, and one of the world’s most exclusive retreats,
Kish Island. She recalled the progressiveness of this nation, whit security, piece and freedom, of religion, under the rule of the Shah—and how it was all destroyed.
[Fran mentions an interesting book called, “Bridge of Turquoise,” written by
Roloff Beny, which gives a comprehensive description of Iran and its people. Other Americans who have traveled to Iran, including Lt. Hopper Smith and Dr.
Deardorff, have praised this book and hope Americans read it to learn about Iranians.]
