“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

July 7, 1951 — Irony In Iran
If it were not for the sharpness and implicit dangers of the crisis in Iran, the gathering of crowds in Tehran, as reported by Mr. Thomas O’Neill, to cry “Death to the Hague Court,” would be a comic episode.
October 1, 1951 — Handing It Over To The U.N.
Britain’s decision to carry the serious problem of its disagreement with Iran before the United Nations Security Council indicates that Mr. Attlee’s Government has given up all hope of negotiating a settlement with Tehran.
October 3, 1951 — Bitter Pill For The British
Confronted with an Iranian ultimatum to clear the oil fields at Abadan of British personnel by tomorrow, Britain is now removing the last of 350 oil technicians from the country. The decision to evacuate completely must have been a hard one for the Labor Government since it is in effect...

March 17, 1952 — The Iranian Oil

June 14, 1952 — Before The Court
The long and complicated dispute between Britain and Iran over the latter country’s nationalization of its oil resources, which so deeply troubled the world not many months ago, is now being laid before the International Court of Justice at The Hague.
July 19, 1952 — Dr. Mossadegh Has Lost His Gamble
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.
July 23, 1952 — Iran Worsens
The frantic nationalism in Iran that sweeps premiers in and out to the accompaniment of gunfire and rioting is not likely to be much affected by decisions of the World Court.
July 30, 1952 — Iran Shifts Targets
As the shout of “Yankee go home” rises in Iran, a little recapitulation is in order. And the recapitulation puts the present agitation for American withdrawal in clearer, and more ominous, light.
August 5, 1952 — The Causes Of Our Unpopularity In Iran
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.
August 12, 1952 — A New Switch In Chaotic Iran
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...
August 26, 1952 — Mystery Visit
It was just a year ago that Averell Harriman left Iran after a futile attempt to bring the British and the Iranians together on a solution of the oil dispute.
September 1, 1952 — Dr. Mossadegh’s Continued Recalcitrance
In spurning the Truman-Churchill proposal for a settlement of the Iranian oil problem, Premier Mohammed Mossadegh has shown a consciousness of both strength and weakness: strength in his bargaining position vis-a-vis Britain and the United States; weakness in his need for the full support...
September 20, 1952 — Dr. Mossadegh’s Progress Toward Political Suicide
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...
October 17, 1952 — Job For Diplomats
The most significant fact about the break in diplomatic relations between Iran and Great Britain is that the problem of Iranian oil is now in America’s lap.

January 8, 1953 — Hope In Iran, And A Word Of Caution
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...
August 11, 1953 — The Iranian Sky Grows Still Darker
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...

August 21, 1953 — It Looks Good, But We Still Lack The Full Facts
These times are crueler to optimists than to anyone else and there is no point in letting optimism run away with us in evaluating the early reports of a new upset in Iran. The dispatches say that the Mossadegh Government has fallen. They say that Mossadegh himself is a prisoner...
August 25, 1953 — Iran’s Empty Till, And How To Fill It
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...
September 4, 1953 — The Tune Begins To Change In Iran
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...
