I looked up info about the swiss boarding school he whent to. There he would have learned French and English in addition to whatever subject he'd study, possibly his own language.

Well, never mind... I'm pretty sure I know the answer:
Persian French German English, and finally, I'm pretty sure, Azeri (Azerbaijani) If anyone KNOWS differently, and can link to a source, great, I'd love to hear it, but please, no more wild guesses like "Arabic"... please! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Given his Western education and the rather strained relations between Iran and the Arab countries I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he didn't speak Arabic, but I wouldn't call expecting a monarch of a Muslim country to have at least a rudimentary command of Arabic a "wild guess".
