Anti-Israel overtones in the rioting against the modern reforms instituted by the Shah of Iran indicate that Egyptian conspirators were involved, it was reported here today from Teheran.

Tanks and jeeps were used by the Government against the demonstrators who poured into Teheran, some of them shouting that Iran break off “all links with Israel.” Iran granted Israel de facto recognition more than 10 years ago but has no diplomatic representation in Israel. Gen. Hassan Pakravan, Teheran’s security chief, hinted at a news conference that President Nasser was behind the rioting.
