The 1953 coup ( کودتای ۲۸ امرداد ۱۳۳۲ ) was carried out by the US administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower in a covert action advocated by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles under the supervision of his brother Allen Dulles, the Director of Central Intelligence. The coup was organized by the United States' CIA and the United Kingdom's MI6, two spy agencies that aided royalists and mutinous Iranian army officers. CIA officer Kermit Roosevelt کرمیت رزولت, Jr., the grandson of former President Theodore Roosevelt, carried out the operation planned by CIA agent Donald Wilber. One version of the CIA history, written by Wilber, referred to the operation as TP-AJAX (Todeh Party - Ajax پاکزدایی حزب توده). During the coup, Roosevelt and Wilber bribed Iranian government officials, reporters, and businessmen. The deposed Iranian leader, Mossadegh دکتر محمد مصدق , was taken to jail and Iranian General Fazlollah Zahedi سرلشگر فضل الله زاهدی named himself prime minister in the new, pro-western government. The CIA gave Zahedi about $100,000 before the coup and an additional $5 million the day after the coup to help consolidate support for the coup. The British and American spy agencies returned the monarchy to Iran by installing the pro-western Mohammed Reza Pahlavi محمد رضا شاه پهلوی on the throne where his rule lasted 26 years. "Mohammad Reza Pahlavi محمد رضا شاه پهلوی, under the direction of CIA and MI6, and with the help of high-ranking Shia clerics آیت الله بروجردی, anti-democratic military officers, and paid mercenary mobs composed of prostitutes and thugs from Shahr-e Nou شهر نو (Tehran's red light district) attacked our democratic government and replaced it with a brutal tyranny." The overthrow of Iran's elected government in 1953 ensured Western control of Iran's petroleum resources and prevented the Soviet Union from competing for Iranian oil. Some Iranian clerics cooperated with the western spy agencies because they were dissatisfied with Mossadegh's secular government. While the broad outlines of the Iran operation are known: the agency led a coup in 1953 that re-installed the pro-American Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi to the throne, where he remained until overthrown in 1979. "But the C.I.A.'s records were widely thought by historians to have the potential to add depth and clarity to a famous but little-documented intelligence operation," reporter Tim Weiner wrote in The New York Times May 29, 1997. "The Central Intelligence Agency, which has repeatedly pledged for more than five years to make public the files from its secret mission to overthrow the government of Iran in 1953, said today that it had destroyed or lost almost all the documents decades ago." A historian who was a member of the C.I.A. staff in 1992 and 1993 said in an interview today that the records were obliterated by a culture of destruction at the agency. The historian, Nick Cullather, said he believed that records on other major cold war covert operations had been burned, including those on secret missions in Indonesia in the 1950's and a successful C.I.A.-sponsored coup in Guyana in the early 1960's. Iran -- there's nothing, Mr. Cullather said. Indonesia -- very little. Guyana -- that was burned. According to the CIA officer who planned the coup in his account titled, Clandestine Service History Overthrow Of Premier Mossadeq of Iran: November 1952-August 1953, one goal of the coup was to strengthen the Shah. By the end of 1952, it had become clear that the Mossadeq government in Iran was incapable of reaching an oil settlement with interested Western countries; was reaching a dangerous and advanced stage of illegal, deficit financing; was disregarding the Iranian constitution in prolonging Premier Mohammed Mossadeq's tenure of office; was motivated mainly by Mossadeq's desire for personal power; was governed by irresponsible policies based on emotion; had weakened the Shah and the Iranian Army to a dangerous degree; and had cooperated closely with the Tudeh (Communist) Party of Iran.... It was the aim of the TPAJAX project to cause the fall of the Mossadeq government to reestablish the prestige and power of the Shah; and to replace the Mossadeq government with one which would govern Iran according to constructive policies. Specifically, the aim was to bring to power a government which would reach an equitable oil settlement, enabling Iran to become economically sound and financially solvent, and which would vigorously prosecute the dangerously strong Communist Party. Clandestine Service History Overthrow Of Premier Mossadeq of Iran: November 1952-August 1953 by Donald Wilber. The author of that account, Donald Wilber, "played an active role in the operation," according to CIA historical officer Dean L, Dodge, who released the account in March, 1969.

  • Down with islamic republic of Iran!

  • بسیار درست و نیکوست. ما هیچگاه دشمن سید تبار را از یاد نبرده ایم ولی پیروزی زمانی حقیقی است که از رویدادهای سدۀ گذشته در ایران آگاه باشیم و نادرستی های خودمان را دوباره نو نکنیم. ما بایستی که خرد را جایگزین هر چیزی بکنیم و هوش گم شدۀ ایرانیمان را بکار گیریم و گر نه ما هم مردمی خواهیم بود مانند مردم یونان با گذشته ای دراز ولی تهی که به هیچ گرفته خواهیم شد و آینده ای تاریک چشم براه ما خواهد بود.

  • با سپاس از دیدگاه بسیار مفیدتان!

    تنها درخواست من اینست که شما هم از استعداد و نیروی "سواد" خودتان بهره بگیرید و در عمل نشان بدهید که چند مرده حلاجید!

  • @raazoniaazable: You and I had a few words of exchange about a year ago in your own site. one of those words that I conveyed to you was; if anyone supposed to be shameful and disgraceful is you and your type who happened to be cheerleaders for a regime change during 1978-79. Wasn't it the National Front of Mossadeq who coalesced with khomein, shame on you filthy dirties who sold out a country by deceiving a nation to accept fanatical regime in which yourselves fell victims to it

  • I am sure 50years from now there will be some people who make a hero out of Ahamadinejast, the way Mossadeqists do now, as a man who stood up to only superpower in the world to defend Iran's right to build nuclear bombs. they will hide the result of his policies as Mossadeqists do now: economic devastation, political oppression, use of torture, rape by the goons of the regime,false imprisonment

    an in depth study of Mossadeq reveals that nationalism was his coverup for his ulterior motives.

  • Thank you for posting. It's nokar-sefati of Shah and his dogs in protecting the interests of their foreign masters. All these left-overs of the Shah regime are totally confused and conflicted as to whether to support the 1953 CIA coupe or condemn it!

  • @raazoniaazable bacheh monafegh to ro cheh be in harfa man iraniam ama shoma faghat farsi zaban asti, man shak daram ke shoma mesle khomeini irani bashid.,

  • شما "شاه اللهی"ها با "بسیجی"ها چه فرقی دارید؟ بیسواد و بی هنر که هستید! حزب فقط حزب الله (حزب رستاخیز) و رهبر فقط خامنه ای (جاوید شاهنشاه ) که میگویید! چماقدار و نامرد که هستید و دشنام، فحش و ناسزا که به ناخودیها میدهید! همه داده ها را که انکار میکنید! شرم !!! شرم و آبرو هم که ندارید! پس چه چیزی را میخواهید جانشین سیستم ملایی بکنید؟ آیا تنها میخواهید دزدان تاجدار بجای دزدان عمامه دار بگذارید؟ از ایرانی بودن تنها ژستش را یاد گرفتید؟ "آرتاوهیشت" پس خرد و اندیشۀ و دادگری ایرانی شما کجاست؟ ای مسخره!

  • what is the name of the music at the end?
