[videowithmeaning]

So a guy wants a national resource of his country to stay in his country and we have the CIA go in and kill him and put in a dictator. And somhow communisum is the evil one?

[morninggloryseed]

This is all based upon lies. Mossadegh was not 'democratically' elected. He was appointed Prime Minister by the Majlis (Parliament of Iran) and immediately started on a course of instituting his marxist ideas, declaring Marshall Law, and pressing the Shah for control of the military.

And I'm tired of people saying "The CIA overthrew him" as though England had nothing to do with this. England was ready to go to war, and the US intervened to avoid a war.

So many lies and half-truths.

@sevak67 He held legitimate power through democratic elections unlike the Shah who was placed there by the CIA and others. Mossadegh met the views of the Iranian people, while the Shah was a puppet of the United States and the West.

@TheguardianofIran Don't you see? The Shah's regime was a mere dictatorship governed by an iron fist. The Shah's notoriously repressive secret police Savak was itself trained by Mossad and the CIA. Mossadegh represented the Iranian people. He was the Prime Minister of Iran for 26 months from 1951 to 1953 who headed the moderate nationalist, democratic government.

[ihatekhomeini]

Mossadegh was the true father of the Iranian nation!

[PersianStealth]

Only one very questionable document allegedly from the CIA feeds this myth.
