After
years
in the making, The Mossadegh Project presents the most
ambitious testimonial record ever assembled of the 1953 coup d'etat against
the legitimate, peaceful, democratic government of Iran's beloved Prime
Minister, Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh.
You will hear from over 250 figures including world leaders, diplomats, foreign policy analysts,
military personnel, authors, intellectuals, journalists,
politicians, CIA officials, Pulitzer prize winners, Nobel Prize laureates, Academy
Award winners, and many others.
The purpose of this archive is to permanently document public statements made
pertaining to the 1953 coup in Iran. These testimonies have significant historical value,
revealing international attitudes and perspectives, past and present, on a key event in
Iranian, British and American history.
When an American or British leader or representative acknowledges the coup in any way,
they are admitting to their nation's conspiracy in a supreme international crime
for which no restitution has ever been paid. If the atrocity of 1953 were ever tried
by an international tribunal court (a la the Nuremberg Trials), these testimonies would be
admissable as confessions.
As a point of reference, the Turkish government officially denies the reality of the
the Armenian genocide during World War I to this day, evading all legal responsibility for
the atrocity. Yet the British and American governments openly admit to their role in crushing
Iran's young democracy and imposing a brutal, unelected dictator on the country for 27 years.
The CIA regards the 1953 coup its single greatest achievement, and other British officials speak
proudly and arrogantly of their part in Mossadegh's demise. The oppressive Islamic Republic
regime, which owes its very existence to the coup, exploits the event for political purposes
dishonestly, as their movement not only violates the principles of Dr. Mossadegh, but
contributed to his downfall in the
first place.
The majority of individuals listed here describe the coup as shortsighted, morally and strategically
wrong, and the single most serious unresolved grievance between Iran and America. However, as with
anything, apologists and coup-deniers still exist. Their flimsy rationales, based on self-interest,
misinformation, speculation and outright lies, will be
corrected with good old-fashioned facts and logic.
A definitive multimedia resource with
text, audio and video, www.mohammadmossadegh.com/1953
will be regularly updated and categorized for quick reference. It's a reservoir of information
that certain people don't want you to see, documenting one of the most significant, relevant, and yet
little-known world events of the past 100 years.
