Iran Press/ Iran news: In Aug.1953, colonial powers, whose interests had been threatened by the nationalization of the Iranian oil industry, plotted a coup against Iranian Prime Minister Mosaddegh to appoint their own puppet to control the oil-rich Iran.
Sixty-eight years ago, around this time, American and British intelligence services organized a coup in Iran that arguably changed the equations in the Middle East.
1953 Iranian coup or 28 Mordad coup, is one of the blatant and undeniable examples that shows the hegemonic power does not give a damn to democracy and freedom; whenever the arrogant power sees it is losing its interests; so, it undermines the independence of other countries, he added.
According to the official, the US paid certain people to initiate the 1953 coup in Iran and it spared no effort to overthrow the Islamic Revolution in the first years of its victory of the revolution.
The 1953 Iranian coup d'état, known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup d'état, was the overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favor of strengthening the monarchical rule of the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on 19 August 1953.
