Reza Pahlavi also wants to restore normalized and friendly relations with Israel, which would greatly alter the geopolitical climate in the region. Iran actually had a very close relationship under the previous Shah and an alliance that lasted pretty much from the 1950s to the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
