  • We look at the 70th anniversary of the August 19, 1953, U.S.- and U.K-backed coup in Iran, which took place two years after Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh nationalized Iran’s oil industry that had been controlled by the company now known as British Petroleum. “If nationalization in Iran of oil was successful, this would set a terrible example to other countries where U.S. oil interests were present,” explains Ervand Abrahamian, Iranian historian and author of Oil Crisis in Iran: From Nationalism to Coup d’Etat and The Coup: 1953, The CIA, and the Roots of Modern U.S.-Iranian Relations. While the CIA has historically taken credit for Mosaddegh’s overthrow, “the British have not admitted their leading role,” notes Iranian filmmaker Taghi Amirani, whose documentary film Coup 53 uncovers the influence of MI6 agents who sought to preserve their imperial-era access to Iranian oil and pulled in the Americans by promising a “slice.” Seventy years later, says Amirani, “We are still living with the ripples of this disastrous event.”

    It is NEVER about Democracy - it is about control of resources. Same thing happened to Iraq, Afghanistan and the complaints about 'less democratic countries' today.

      Ukraine, too. The US and NATO (essentially controlled by the US and its deputy the UK) wanted naval bases on Crimea, further military pushback against Russia and access to cheap oil, gas, fruit and wheat from Ukraine, so they installed the regime they wanted in Ukraine from 2014 on and used it as a battering ram against Russia. Without the heavy US investment - military, financial and geopolitical - in eastern Europe and Ukraine over the last twenty years, the current war wouldn't even have happened.

      You Western useful idiots don't know the Middle East. You do not understand the place of Islam in the daily life of the Muslim, which determines for him much more than the laws of the country. There are police forces there that enforce the religious law more than the state law. There is not a single democratic Muslim country there, and there never has been.
      That's why the ties of the Western Magdainites with the Islamic countries should not be based on a demand for democratization, but more on the restoration of human and civil rights. Let them reduce the involvement of the state in the enforcement of personal laws of everyday life, and they will bring about democracy later in difficult struggles between the intellectual elite and the sages of the mosque.

And this wars, against all varieties of nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada, 1983. Well, this means that in our entire history, we have only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years of our Civil War (Union/Confed 1861‒1865), are Not counted, since this war was not with another country, but against us.

    The 1979 revolution was also about oil. The Shah refused to renew the consortium agreement of 1954 and planned to terminate all the related contracts by the end of 1979. Guess what, a revolution spearheaded by a radical Islamic clerk Khomeini took place to overthrow the Shah in 1979. Iran was moving up and was becoming one of the wealthiest countries in the world in the 70s. The 1979 revolution triggered the downfall of the country.

      Well said. But this so-called "coup" of '53 never happened. It's a CIA disinformation against the Shah to justify and cover up the CIA coup of '79. The Shah appointed Mossadegh and later dismissed him. That's not a coup. Mossadegh's coup against the Shah failed. All these decades, they've been undermining the late Shah and portraying him as a monster and a puppet. The truth is that he was a Liberator and "dangerous" to the interests of foreign powers who wanted to plunder and bring down Iran. They achieved it by installing their puppet mullahs into power in '79.

    • @aguilayserpiente
      @aguilayserpiente Год назад

      "He told me" is hearsay. We must first observe the U.S.' role in subverting sovereign nations in order to install repressive fascist orders to enable the easy extraction of cheap resources for American industry:
      The common view that internal freedom makes for humane and moral international behavior is supported neither by historical evidence nor by reason. The United States itself has a long history of imposing oppressive and terrorist regimes in regions of the world within the reach of its power, such as the Caribbean and Central American sugar and banana republics (Trujillo in the Dominican Republic and the Somozas in Nicaragua were long-lived progeny of U.S. intervention and selection). Since World War II. with the great extension of U.S. power, it has borne a heavy responsibility for the spread of a plague of neofascism, state terrorism, torture and repression throughout large parts of the underdeveloped world. The United States has globalized the "banana republic." *This has occurred despite some modest ideological strain because these developments serve the needs of powerful and dominant interests, state and private, within the United States itself.*
      The Vietnam War experience is often cited to prove the importance of freedom and dissent in constraining state violence. This assessment seriously misreads the facts of the case. Peace movement activism, growing from and contributing to the popular movements for equality, freedom and social change within the United States, did succeed in raising the domestic costs of the U.S. assault, thus helping to limit in some degree its scope and severity and contributing to the eventual decision that the game was not worth the candle . . . The established "free" institutions supported the war, for the most part enthusiastically and uncritically, occasionally with minor and qualifying reservations. The principled opposition, based on grounds other than cost-ineffectiveness, functioned outside the major institutional structures . . .
      [E]stablished institutions, with overwhelmingly dominant power, tend to line up in goose-step fashion in support of any state foreign venture, no matter how immoral (until the cost becomes too high).
      The peace movement frightened Western elites. The response of the U.S. (indeed Free World) leadership to the politicization of large parts of the population during the 1960s provides a revealing indication of their concept of "democracy" and of the role of the public in the "democratic process." In 1975, the Trilateral Commission, representing the more liberal elements of ruling groups in the industrial democracies, published a study entitled The Crisis of Democracy which interprets public participation in decision-making as a threat to democracy, one that must be contained if elite domination is to persist unhindered by popular demand. The population must be reduced to apathy and conformism if "democracy" as interpreted by this liberal contingent, is to be kept workable and allowed to survive.
      The most crucial fact relating freedom to the Vietnam War experience is that, despite its free institutions, for over two decades (1949-1975) the United States attempted to subjugate Vietnam by force and subversion, in the process violating the UN Charter, the Geneva Accords of 1954 the Nuremberg Code the Hague Convention, the Geneva Protocol of 1925, and finally the Paris agreements of 19733. For almost a decade the peasants of Indochina served as experimental animals for an evolving military technology-cluster bombs, rockets designed to enter caves where people hid to escape saturation bombing, a fiendish array of anti-personnal weapons; new versions of the long-outlawed "dummy" bullet were among the more modest weapons employed. The population was driven into urban slums by bombing, artillery, and ground attacks that often degenerated into mass murder, in an expanding effort to destroy the social structures m which resistance was rooted. Defenseless peasant societies in Laos and Cambodia were savagely bombed in "secret"-the "secrecy" resulting from the refusal of the mass media to make public facts for which they had ample evidence. Freedom was consistent not only with this expanding savagery, but also with *interventions explicitly designed to preserve non-freedom from the threat of freedom (e.g., the invasion of the Dominican Republic in 1965) and to displace democratic with totalitarian regimes (e.g., the open subversion of Guatemala in 1954: the slightly more sub rosa subversion of democracy in Brazil in 1964 and Chile in 1973).* Free institutions were able to accept, indeed quietly approve of huge massacres in the name of "freedom," as in *Indonesia in 1965-1966 by U. S. liberals as evidence for the farsightedness of U.S. intervention in Vietnam. Massive atrocities committed by U.S. client regimes against their own populations or against foreign populations they hope to subdue (e.g., the Indonesian massacres in East Timor)* have also proven compatible with freedom and are regularly disguised or ignored by the Free Press.
      Whatever the attitudes of the U.S. leadership toward freedom at home … systematic policies towards Third World countries … make it evident that the alleged commitment to democracy and human rights is mere rhetoric, directly contrary to actual policy. *The operative principle has been and remains economic freedom-meaning freedom for U.S. business to invest, sell, and repatriate profits-and its two basic requisites, a favorable investment climate and a specific form of stability* . . . Respect for the rights of the individual, also alleged to be one of the cardinal values of the West, has had little place in the operating procedures applied to the Third World. Since a *favorable investment climate and stability quite often require repression, the United States has supplied the tools and training for interrogation and torture and is thoroughly implicated in the vast expansion of torture during the Past decade.*

He was appointed by The Shah, tried to dissolve parliament, violated Iran’s constitution, silenced opposition, & destroyed the economy. He tried to become a dictator and failed so now he’s a communist pretend hero. Also, the nationalization of Iran's oil was voted in the parliament BEFORE Mossadegh.
      Furthermore, the reason why the Shah appointed Mossadegh as a PM was because he trusted he could do the job. Interestingly, our King wanted the nationalization of Iran's oil but gradually and not abruptly like Mossadegh did, to further gaslight tensions between Iran and the West.

(In Fact, since 1785, we have been involved, for 231 years, in some kind of war. And this wars, against all varieties of nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada, 1983. Well, this means that in our entire history, we have only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years of our Civil War (Union/Confed 1861‒1865), are Not counted, since this war was not with another country, but against us. And the wars against the Native Nations of America either are not counted, for the same reason). Anyway: We fought against 29 countries. We have "Grown" 711 the size of our territory from the original 13 colonies.

The western world doesn’t have any of these. The democracy in the USA,CANADA,BRITAIN have been hijacked after the Second World War by someone or a group of people ,I really don’t know who they are.

      there never was or currently is a need for a 'North' Korea,
      the split is all part of an Empirical game,

    What made the Mosaddegh Coup so successful was that it didn't cost anything relative to the oil revenue that was seized.

      What made the “coupe” so successful was that it wasn’t a coupe but that the people were authentically fed up with his failed socialist economic policies. It’s very easy to get your way when your way is the same direction as the will of the people.
      Exactly the same thing as happens in Ukraine, yes we support the protestors and wish them well and much success. But the west has nothing to do with starting of encouraging it. At least not till after it was already in full swing.

      It didn't cost anything because Iran was divided and easily swayed, Mossadegh's popularity was already waning, so very easy to push it over.

    The United States has never forgiven the Iranian Citizenry for ousting its Dictator, the Shah. As far as the Corporate paymasters are concerned, NO ONE has the right to oust a US installed and supported Dictator from Power, despite how oppressive their Tyranny is...

      Economic Sanctions on Iran are all about Economic Warfare. US Officials targeted the Iranian Citizenry using Sanctions to inflict massive Economic Warfare and Death on them. The Aim: Oust your Dictatorship in another Revolution and restore a pro-US Dictatorship in its stead or we'll continue to squeeze the Economic lifeblood out of you until you Die.
      How is it that the American Public, Taxpayers, and Consumers really not understand the Hatred and Vilification we've brought onto ourselves from Central Asia and the Eurasian Continent from our utter Stupidity Squared?!
