During his diplomatic post in Iran Khalil closely worked with Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.[4] One of their collaborative activities was to curtail the popularity of Musa Al Sadr, a powerful Lebanese Shia figure.[4] Khalil's family was not on good terms with Musa Al Sadr due to the conflicts between Al Sadr and Nasser Khalil, brother of Khalil Khalil.[5] Khalil was also close to the Iranian politician Asadollah Alam.[5]
