What happened at The Unity, Bridge to Freedom in Toronto?

James Mann wrote in February 1989 that when he asked the CIA about whether they help Pahlavi, they refused to comment and a spokesperson of the agency told him “We would not confirm nor deny an intelligence matter”. Connie Bruck of The New Yorker wrote that “Pahlavi had CIA funding for a number of years in the eighties, but it ended after the Iran-Contra scandal”. Andrew Friedman of Haverford College states that Pahlavi began cooperation with the CIA after he met director William J. Casey and received a monthly stipend, citing Pahlavi’s financial advisor and other observers. Friedman also connects his residence in Great Falls, Virginia to its proximity to George Bush Center for Intelligence, headquarters of the service.
