His first step to help Iranian Jews in France, was to issue them with new passports that did not state their religion. He helped around 2,000 Jews obtain passports. Ibrahim Morady, an Iranian Jewish merchant that was saved by Sardari years ago, recently remembered and stated that Sardari was asked by Iran's foreign Ministry to return to Iran. According to Morady, “he was called by the government to return to Persia.” Sardari refused to leave the Jews behind and feared that they would be deported with the rest. Sardari had a good notion of what the Nazis were capable of. Once again, he refused to leave Paris and continued aiding thousands of Jews. He began issuing hundreds of Iranian passports for non-Iranian Jews as well, to protect them from the hands of the Nazis. The Iranians who got their passports would beseech Sardari to issue passports for their non-Iranian friends, spouses, and colleagues. In hopes of protecting them from persecution, Sardari issued passports and signed affidavits for as many Iranian and  non-Iranian Jews as he could.
