During the 1960s, Mahdavi was a member of the opposition National Front (II), having been arrested during student protests and jailed as an anti-Shah political prisoner for less than a year.[1] In 1975, he joined the royalist Resurgence Party as a high-ranking member, which severely damaged his reputation.[1]
