El Al has suspended flights to Teheran and there is no indication when or if they will be resumed. But as the supporters of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Kho- meini took over the Iranian government, telephone con- tact was made Saturday fight with the small groups f Israelis — mostly airline employees — still in Iran. The call, which was routed 'through the Tokyo exchange, con- firmed that the Israelis were all safe. But accord- ing to the telephone re- port, the announcement that El Al has cancelled its flights out of Teheran caused grave concern in the Jewish community. Reportedly, several hundred Iranian Jews about to leave for Israel were stranded because they could not complete formalities before the last flight left. et Saturday's mob attack on the Israeli trade mission in Teheran did not comb as a surprise. One Israeli re- porter still in the Iranian capital claimed that Israel was the country most hated by the street mobs. The trade mission was identified as an embassy in some re- ports but Iran and Israel do not have formal diplomatic relations. Meanwhile, Israel is tak- ing stock of the repercus- sions of the Iranian revolu- tion on its economy. Apart from the cut-off of oil, the most serious result of the Khoumeini take-over, the losses are not great and can be recouped. The $200 mil- lion worth of equipment left behind in Iran by Soleh Boneh, the Histadrut con- struction company, is in- sured against all risks. The firm said its employees left Iran three weeks ago at the request of Israel's Foreign Ministry. Israel exported about $200 million worth of goods to Iran last year, but only a third of the exports were of a type not easily diverted to other markets.
