Parviz Raji, Born 1936, Died 2014, Former Iranian Ambassador in UK!!
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.
