What is the Cyrus Accords delegation to Israel?

In September 2025, an expert delegation representing Prince Reza Pahlavi visited Israel and met Science Minister Gila Gamliel as part of the Iran Prosperity Project, working to define the Cyrus Accords — a framework to restore Iran-Israel friendship after a democratic transition in Iran.

What are the Cyrus Accords?

The Cyrus Accords are a comprehensive peace framework between Iran and Israel, named after Cyrus the Great who liberated Jews from Babylon in 538 BCE. This modern accord envisions technology cooperation, economic integration, and regional peace.

How does water cooperation fit into the Cyrus Accords?

Iran faces one of the world's most severe water crises, with major lakes and rivers — including Lake Urmia and the Zayandeh-Rud — severely depleted. Shared Iranian and Israeli expertise in desalination, water reuse, and efficient irrigation is central to the Cyrus Accords vision.
