“Mossadegh—the man who first brought democracy to Persia’s villages and who strived
to get a constitutional monarchy—became overnight at the hands of our press a clown, a demagogue, a neo-communist.”
— Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas

Letters to the Editor Angola, Indiana
Features Anniston, Alabama Phoenix, Arizona Bakersfield, California Baltimore, Maryland The failure of the Iranian Premier, Dr. Mossadegh, and the British and American Ambassadors to achieve any perceptible progress during their conference yesterday...
The resignation of the Iranian Premier, Dr. Mossadegh, takes place--characteristically--on a point having nothing, or very little, to do with the big question. He wanted to be war minister as well as Premier, but the Shah wouldn’t let him. So he quit.
Current events in Iran leave little doubt that at the moment Americans are far from popular there. There are reports that the Iranian upper crust is boycotting official American parties. A member of the Iranian Parliament demands an ouster of all Americans.
The Parliament of Iran, which 48 hours ago was in open rebellion against Premier Mohammed Mossadegh, has suddenly turned around and handed him what amounts to dictatorial power over the country for the next six months. From this distance, the development looks less like a cure...
Dr. Mossadegh, the "strong man" of Iran, now appears to be pursuing a kind of double-jointed policy. On the one hand he is calling in assorted foreign wizards, such as Mr. Alton Jones, the American oil man, and Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, Hitler’s former finance expert. On the other hand, be keeps...
The true test of shrewdness in any trader is whether he knows when to cut his losses. Premier Mossadegh of Iran now has the opportunity...
Premier Mossadegh of Iran is an unpredictable man in an explosive situation. He can be reasonable when he chooses to, and unreasonable by choice. In his defense it could be said that during the past year and a half of Iranian chaos he has managed, by desperate maneuver, to remain in control...
Iran is struggling frenziedly and feverishly in the grip of another crisis. This crisis, like most Iranian crises of the past few years, has its immediate cause in Premier Mossadegh’s desperate efforts to stay in power. He is now attempting to dissolve the Majlis, all that’s left of the...
Tehran is delighted with Premier Malenkov’s kindly references to Iran in his Sunday speech to the Supreme Soviet. The delight stems less from Malenkov’s announcement of Soviet-Iranian discussions of border problems, debts and increased trade than from Tehran’s obvious belief that it...
Lingering doubts about the ability of Iran’s Premier Mossadegh to bend an impoverished country to his will can now be forgotten...
The Shah of Iran, back on his throne, has taken a look at the country’s public till and found it "very empty." Its very emptiness cannot have surprised the Shah, nor does it surprise the rest of the world. Nor is the rest of the world exactly amazed at the Shah’s request for immediate...
Dr. Mossadegh’s standard of seeking financial aid from country was to threaten that if aid were not forthcoming his country would probably go Communist. President Eisenhower gave that sort of polite blackmail the treatment it deserved. Iran did come perilously...
Iran has been quiet now for some months; but it is not stable. It cannot become stable until it begins once more to produce and market its big source of wealth, oil
Yesterday’s announcement that at long last an agreement has been reached between a consortium of British, American and other allied interests on the one hand and the Government of Iran on the other for the future exploitation of Iran oil marks a return to common sense on...
The presence of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in Iran provided a focal point for the forces of opposition, but his departure will not end the crisis.
