Goldie Ghamari - Mossadegh： The 1953 ＂Coup＂ Explained by an Iranian (10⧸10)

00:00:00.000 Music

00:00:30.000 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 Thank you.

00:01:30.000 Thank you.

00:02:00.000 well good evening everyone and thank you for joining me for another watch party today we're

00:02:29.400 going to watch a documentary about one of the most infamous people in Iranian history and

00:02:37.300 Iranian politics. It's also probably one of the most misunderstood and misquoted eras of Iranian

00:02:51.000 politics and of course i'm referring to mosad and the so-called 1953 coup which never happened but

00:02:59.640 of course um anyone who's not iranian uh who seems to think they are an expert on iran

00:03:08.680 the first thing that they will talk about is you know this so-called you know the democratically

00:03:15.160 elected prime minister and then the shah came and the cia coup right like all that nonsense and of

00:03:20.360 course, I'm referring to none other than Mossadegh, which is pictured. Oh, wait, sorry. That's not

00:03:26.120 Mossadegh. That's actually Nosferatu. Sorry, guys. Let me get the correct picture of Mossadegh up

00:03:33.380 here so that you guys know who I am referring to. So this is Mossadegh, the infamous, quote unquote,

00:03:41.880 prime minister of Iran, that non-Iranians love to quote, you know, they love to tell us Iranians

00:03:50.380 about Mossadegh, right? As if like, we somehow don't know our own history, as if we somehow don't

00:03:57.020 know anything about Mossadegh. And they also like to pretend that Mossadegh is the one and only

00:04:02.120 prime minister that Iran ever had, which is the farthest thing from the truth. These people who

00:04:08.040 talk about Mossadegh being democratically elected, have no knowledge of any of the

00:04:14.580 prime ministers who came before him or after. They have no knowledge or understanding of the

00:04:20.700 fact that Mossadegh has actually ties to the Soviets at the time, and he was funded by the

00:04:26.760 Soviets in order to destabilize Iran and basically turn Iran into a Soviet proxy.

00:04:34.120 They have no idea about the fact that Mossadegh actually tried to suspend the constitution of Iran and to basically turn himself into a dictator.

00:04:45.140 So it wasn't, in fact, the Shah that was authoritarian. It was Mossadegh that was the authoritarian dictator.

00:04:53.320 And the people who also like to talk about Mossadegh also have no idea that Iran was a constitutional monarchy.

00:04:59.980 They have no knowledge or understanding of the Persian Constitutional Revolution, which happened in 1905.

00:05:07.840 And I actually have explained that in one of my previous watch parties.

00:05:15.300 So without further ado, we are going to get started on this documentary.

00:05:21.800 And of course, big shout out to, of course, the mods and the members here.

00:05:40.400 Thank you for being part of this.

00:05:42.100 I look forward to your comments and your feedback.

00:05:46.100 So guys, get settled in.

00:05:48.940 We're going to watch this documentary.

00:05:50.460 the one thing I want to point out is that this documentary is not um glamorous so do not expect

00:05:56.900 high quality graphics or anything like that I actually don't even know who produced or created

00:06:03.160 this documentary so if anyone knows um please please let me know but um but it is probably

00:06:10.400 one of the most accurate documentaries that I have ever seen about Mossadir and the 1953

00:06:19.940 so-called coup right so we're going to get into this now and let us begin happened in 1953 in

00:06:30.800 iran is often referred to by the western media as a military coup to topple the democratically

00:06:37.780 elected prime minister muhammad musaddiq and reinstate the shah of iran hello this is persian

00:06:44.580 history and today we are going to talk about the so-called 1953 coup d'etat in iran as i already

00:06:52.500 mentioned it has become conventional wisdom that in 1953 the united states cia led a coup to

00:06:59.860 overthrow the then prime minister of iran mossad for nationalizing the british-owned oil industry

00:07:06.980 in iran and that many of the u.s problem with the current iranian government stem from this coup

00:07:13.940 even former president barack obama spreads this so that that's true right like that's the constant

00:07:19.700 narrative that um we iranians get from non-iranians they like to iran-splain our country to us and

00:07:27.940 all of them like basically all these people who know nothing about iran or iranian history

00:07:33.460 this is the you know it's the same narrative that all of them keep on push right it's just

00:07:39.140 They know nothing about Iran, but they will blame everything that's happening now on 1953 as if somehow Mosaddegh brought democracy to Iran, which is the farthest thing from the truth.

00:07:52.460 was actually trying to suspend um the iranian constitution and he wanted to uh unilaterally

00:08:01.180 declare power and he actually wanted to to turn iran from a constitutional monarchy

00:08:07.580 into a dictatorship and the shah prevented him from doing that

00:08:13.500 hollywood has also repeated it many times as demonstrated by the popular movie

00:08:19.180 argo first technically there was no coup by definition coup d'etat is a sudden violent

00:08:26.540 and illegal seizure of power from a government was this the case in iran absolutely not musadik

00:08:32.860 was the prime minister of iran and as such under the constitution then in place he could legally

00:08:39.660 be removed by the shah and the shah did indeed dismiss musadik did you guys catch that so so he

00:08:46.620 could legally be removed by the Shah, right? And the Shah did that. So there was no coup.

00:08:51.760 The Shah was exercising his powers under the constitution of Iran at the time to remove

00:08:58.760 Mossadegh and replace him with a different person to become prime minister. Guys, these are the

00:09:05.000 small, you know, like the small but very important points that people who know nothing about Iran

00:09:11.720 failed to mention so already like for me this documentary um i'm at a 10 out of 10 on this

00:09:18.340 one all already like everything they've said so far 100 factual and i appreciate the fact that

00:09:24.780 they also have the documents to to back up exactly what it is that they're saying

00:09:29.660 fact it was Mossadegh who staged a coup to seize power the only unconstitutional behavior came

00:09:39.620 from Mossadegh himself who refused to step down and ordered the arrest of the officers who

00:09:45.440 delivered the Shah's notice of his dismissal leading to a to the creation of a military

00:09:50.540 dictatorship under Mossadegh. Second did you catch that so it was Mossadegh who was trying to create

00:09:56.760 a military dictatorship right and the Shah actually saved saved Iran from turning into a military

00:10:04.620 dictatorship under Mossadegh the CIA was not the driving force behind Mossadegh's removal on August

00:10:12.680 19 there is a rumor that one CIA agent in his biography allegedly took credit for the protests

00:10:18.560 that eventually led to Mossadegh's removal but declassified documents from the CIA demonstrate

00:10:24.220 just the opposite during the crisis the CIA station in Tehran reported the anti-Mossadegh

00:10:30.060 protest contained a large element of spontaneity and there seemed to have been a genuine reaction

00:10:36.540 of shock and dismay on part of the tehran populace when the shah left iran for iraq the cia station

00:10:43.180 also admitted two days before mossad's removal that the cia cut out of military preparations

00:10:49.500 by general batman gelich and zahidi in fact the cia was unaware that mossad was being removed at all

00:10:56.380 and they were very surprised that anti-mossate forces were taking control over tehran the cia

00:11:03.020 acting director charles cabell briefed president eisenhower that an unexpected strong upsurge of

00:11:09.820 popular and military reaction to prime minister mosatak's government has resulted according to

00:11:15.180 late dispatches from tehran in the virtual occupation of that city by forces proclaiming

00:11:21.500 their loyalty to the shah and to his appointed prime minister zahidi third okay so did you catch

00:11:27.560 that first of all like the people who talk about musadiq never talk about zahidi okay a different

00:11:32.340 prime minister that was elected but most importantly um like this guy so okay i was at a 10

00:11:38.540 i'm at a nine only because he's going a little bit too quickly right so for people who are not

00:11:43.960 familiar with what happened um i feel like he's going a little bit too fast so it's hard to sort

00:11:50.020 of keep keep up and keep track of everything. But what he basically said is that this whole

00:11:55.840 narrative of how the CIA was, you know, supposedly behind the 1953 coup that came from like this

00:12:03.760 random person who wrote, you know, his own autobiography. And then within his autobiography,

00:12:08.720 he claimed that the CIA was involved, but he didn't have any sort of documentation or facts

00:12:15.660 to back it up. Meanwhile, actual CIA documentation that he is showing here demonstrate that the CIA

00:12:23.960 actually had no idea what was going on in Iran at the time or what the Shah was doing, and the CIA

00:12:30.240 was actually caught off guard, right? So keep that in mind here. Keep that in mind.

00:12:37.320 But not only was the CIA unaware that Mossadegh was being removed on August 19th,

00:12:43.880 But they expected Mossadegh to remain in power for the next two months.

00:12:49.780 They ceased all activities against him and even considered working with him.

00:12:54.480 Mossadegh's illegal government was in fact overtone three days after the CIA's failed attempt on August 16.

00:13:00.920 Wow. So if one can speak of a coup at all, then Mossadegh's removal was a direct response to an anti-constitutional coup.

00:13:11.300 100%. So this is what I've been constantly saying.

00:13:13.400 The only coup d'état that happened in the 1950s was Mossaddiq himself, who was trying to unilaterally seize control of the Iranian military and the Iranian government, and he tried to suspend the Constitution and the Parliament.

00:13:30.040 And so the Shah actually prevented Mossaddiq's coup from being successful.

00:13:35.540 But people have spun this around and they make it seem as if the Shah preventing Mossadegh from turning Iran into a dictatorship was the coup. No, it was Mossadegh himself who was responsible for the attempted coup d'etat.

00:13:49.580 so that that's what this um that's what this documentary is essentially saying so i'll go back

00:13:54.380 a little bit because they are going very quickly um but this is like very very important information

00:14:01.100 and i also appreciate the fact that this documentary literally has receipts for

00:14:05.980 everything that they're talking about here so so this is this is really good shown three days

00:14:11.020 after the cia's failed attempt on august 16th wow so if one can speak of a coup at all

00:14:17.820 then Mossadegh's removal was a direct response to an anti-constitutional coup staged by Mossadegh.

00:14:27.500 69 years ago on august 19 1953 the resurrection of the iranian nation took place while on one

00:14:35.340 hand Mossadegh supporters called that day the american destruction of iran's last chance to

00:14:41.500 become prosperous Mossadegh opponents however celebrate this day and call it the liberation

00:14:47.660 of iran from the tyranny of one of iran's wealthiest feudal landlords and reactionaries wait feudal

00:14:54.240 landlord reactionary no way wasn't musad a progressive self-made man who fought for freedom

00:15:00.860 i'm sorry to disappoint you but that is not true so guys the feudal landlord part is really

00:15:07.560 important because again one of the things that the shah was doing at the time is he was getting

00:15:12.320 rid of that feudal tribalism system he was getting rid of the serfs you know because serfs uh back

00:15:17.540 then still existed under the Qajar dynasty. So all of these feudal landlords did not like the fact

00:15:24.760 that the Shah was modernizing Iran and he was getting, basically, he was getting rid of all of

00:15:31.480 the slave labor that these feudal landlords had access to. And I don't know if this documentary

00:15:37.340 is going to mention it because I'm doing a blind watch here, but Mossaddiq was actually connected

00:15:42.680 to the Qajar dynasty, the previous dynasty. So there was also some, you know, there was an

00:15:47.960 element of personal anger in there as well, because Mossadir didn't like the fact that

00:15:53.400 there was a new dynasty. He always felt like he should have been part of the ruling class.

00:15:58.580 And so all the people who claim that he was like one of the people actually have no idea about his

00:16:03.900 background. So yeah, a hundred percent, like this is, this is critical in background information

00:16:09.040 here um that these people don't really talk about so i'll go back a little bit um i'll watch this

00:16:15.020 part and um i'm not going to interrupt unless there's something that i think is completely um

00:16:21.540 like wrong or or whatever the case might be but so far like this documentary for me nine out of

00:16:27.220 ten the only reason it's not a 10 out of 10 is because he's speaking a little bit too quickly

00:16:32.060 and so for people who might not necessarily be familiar with iran or with some of these names

00:16:37.800 or terms they might be a little bit lost but like this is a very good documentary so far

00:16:43.400 constitutional coup staged by Mossadegh

00:16:46.060 69 years ago on august 19 1953 the resurrection of the iranian nation took place while on one

00:16:57.540 hand Mossadegh supporters called that day the american destruction of iran's last chance to

00:17:03.780 become prosperous. Mosaddegh opponents, however, celebrate this day and call it the liberation of

00:17:10.000 Iran from the tyranny of one of Iran's wealthiest feudal landlords and reactionaries. Wait, feudal

00:17:16.380 landlord? Reactionary? No way. Wasn't Mosaddegh a progressive self-made man who fought for freedom?

00:17:23.280 I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that is not true. Mosaddegh was a descendant of the Turkey

00:17:28.980 kajars who had occupied they he mentions it okay oh my gosh so they actually mentioned that he was

00:17:35.360 related to the qajar dynasty which was the previous dynasty prior to the pahlavi dynasty in the

00:17:41.140 previous dynasty they were very corrupt um and they basically had turned iran into a third world

00:17:46.740 country backwater place right so wow like this documentary so far 100 on point iran and impose

00:17:55.800 their brutal dictatorship on the iranian people for almost 200 years owning huge estates through

00:18:03.320 forged papers mossadegh was a wealthy landlord and eventually married a kajar princess

00:18:09.960 and was given the office of a provincial finance minister within

00:18:16.600 oh lex i love watching your videos i never heard of half the things you post thank you

00:18:22.120 thank you lex for joining i appreciate that and thank you for your support yeah you know on on

00:18:26.680 this channel um i'm here to share the truth with you these are the facts that you don't hear in

00:18:32.760 the mainstream media these are the facts that you don't um hear about uh in like the in the

00:18:39.240 propaganda channels and of course these are the facts that the islamists and the communists don't

00:18:44.520 want you to know about but of course everything i bring i come with receipts and i'm glad that

00:18:50.520 you're enjoying this i'm glad that you guys are interested in learning about um iranian history

00:18:56.040 because a lot of a lot of what you think you know about iran is actually not true and that's because

00:19:01.800 a lot of it has been pushed by the islamists and the communists who engage in a lot of revisionist

00:19:07.240 history and i hope that i hope that um you know one of my one of my goals is that you guys not

00:19:12.840 only learn about iran but also learn to uh uh identify this sort of behavior in your own

00:19:22.200 countries because what they did to iran they're now currently trying to do in your countries

00:19:27.480 and this revisionist history is a a big part of that so welcome lex i'm glad you're here i'm glad

00:19:34.680 you're enjoying this and scott thank you so much for um gifting the memberships always appreciate

00:19:40.760 your support all right guys we're going to continue on with the real truth about who

00:19:46.440 Mossadegh was and we're going to debunk the myth of this 1953 coup let's continue just 10 years

00:19:55.800 he became one of Iran's richest landowners totally via his merit and not at all because

00:20:01.960 of his relations and positions of power Mossadegh was anti-democratic and always sided with the

00:20:09.160 tyrannical kajar aristocracy he was an opponent of the democratic movement in iran and back then

00:20:18.200 you could already see his unpatriotic behavior when he sided with muhammad ali shaw kajar to

00:20:24.440 torpedo iran back from a parliamentary monarchy to an absolute monarchy even after the restoration

00:20:31.480 of the constitution in 1909, Mossadegh still defended the unpopular Hajar dynasty and during

00:20:38.980 Reza Khan's seizure of power, he was rightly put in prison for treason. Ironically, Mossadegh was

00:20:45.380 freed from jail by the young Shah of Iran, Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, whom he later betrayed as well as

00:20:51.360 So, okay guys, this is important. So Mossadegh was a traitor. He tried to, so even like well

00:20:58.420 before 1953, guys, this documentary just showed. So well before 1953, like in the 1920s, 1910s

00:21:07.140 and 1920s, Mossadegh tried to overthrow the constitution at the time, okay? So already he

00:21:13.520 was against a democratically elected parliament, right? This is what people don't know about who

00:21:21.960 Mossadegh really was. Mossadegh was not a pro-democracy person. Mossadegh was someone

00:21:27.140 who always favored dictatorship, okay? So already he did not like this. He did not like the fact

00:21:34.440 that Iran was turning towards a democracy. And then when he was put in jail, right, the Shah of

00:21:42.320 Iran in 1941, when he assumed the throne, okay, released him from jail, right, pardoned him and

00:21:50.720 said, you know what? I'm going to give you a chance. I'm going to pardon you, right? This is

00:21:55.960 the same Shah, by the way, that these people claim was, you know, installed in 1953. If the Shah of

00:22:03.360 Iran, and here's the question that I always ask them, and they can never answer this. If the Shah

00:22:08.760 of Iran was installed in 1953, like you claim, what happened in 1941? And then as soon as I say

00:22:17.460 what happened in 1941, they never have a response to that because they've never actually looked

00:22:22.860 far enough back to see what actually happened during the history of the, you know, during

00:22:30.480 Iran's history. So this is a frustration that we have as Iranians when all these non-Iranian people

00:22:37.520 always try to like explain our country's history to us without actually knowing anything about our

00:22:44.900 country's history. They just, you know, throw out these two lines about Mossadegh being

00:22:49.580 democratically elected, even though Mossadegh actually hated democracy. Mossadegh was anti-democracy

00:22:55.120 and Mossadegh was a traitor. And if the Shah was such a bad person, why the heck would the Shah

00:23:03.000 pardon him for treason back in 1941, right? Like no one ever thinks about this stuff.

00:23:12.880 um thank you nationalist libertarian for your support i appreciate that i hope you're enjoying

00:23:20.080 uh this live stream and major thank you for supporting the channel and for gifting

00:23:27.380 memberships appreciate that so much as well all right guys let's continue now that we are getting

00:23:33.540 um an excellent excellent introduction into uh what really happened and who most that

00:23:41.700 actually was. Again, this is probably, this whole like Mossadegh thing is one of the most

00:23:47.520 misunderstood things about Iranian history. And I can tell you every single time, every single time

00:23:55.860 I post something about Iran, or the 1979 Islamic Revolution, without a doubt, some random non-Iranian

00:24:02.240 person will say, well, you know, if Mossadegh had been around, this wouldn't have happened.

00:24:06.420 not understanding that Mossadegh was actually a traitor to Iran and the Shah was actually

00:24:13.300 preserving Iran's constitutional monarchy and democratic institutions by getting rid of Mossadegh,

00:24:21.300 which, by the way, the Shah had the constitutional authority to do under the constitution of Iran.

00:24:28.900 We are going to see in this video, Mossadegh was not a man of progress.

00:24:35.140 He had never realized how important it was to industrialize Iran and longed back to the good old days when Western technology had not yet begun to change the world.

00:24:46.040 He was strongly opposed to the construction of railways and argued that Iranians did not need railways, roads or...

00:24:53.540 The guy was literally upset that Iran was industrializing and building railways, right?

00:24:59.440 And yet for some reason, for some reason, non-Iranians try to like idolize him as this

00:25:06.880 democratic person. Like he was literally a feudal landlord who was against modernizing Iran. Like

00:25:15.920 what kind of sane, rational person argues against building railroads, right? If Iran, if, you know,

00:25:25.600 God forbid, if Iran had remained in his hands, we would have been even worse off than today.

00:25:33.560 Ports, there was no need to travel.

00:25:36.040 It would be much more comfortable to stay at home.

00:25:38.560 What do we expect from a man who receives state guests in pyjamas in his bedroom?

00:25:44.440 During his term as prime minister, Mossadegh exploited the oil dispute with Britain

00:25:48.500 to slowly establish a dictatorship in Iran.

00:25:52.760 Mossadegh violated the Constitution and dissolved the Senate the Kurds and the

00:25:59.780 Parliament after it expressed the will to impeach him eventually he received

00:26:04.760 his letter of dismissal by the Shah but refused to resign and launched a full on

00:26:10.580 military coup d'etat yeah what a Democrat the Shah seeing this left the country to

00:26:15.080 give the Iranians the freedom to choose between Mossadegh and him the Iranians

00:26:20.180 chose him, as we are going to see in this video. Mossadegh's increasing anti-constitutional

00:26:26.540 authoritarianism was initially tolerated by the Iranians, who saw it as a necessary evil to

00:26:33.120 nationalize the oil industry. So Major says communists, leftists, and jihadis all don't

00:26:41.900 care about things like constitutions or laws, never. What, you're 100% correct. You know,

00:26:49.220 one of the things that Islamists and jihadis have in common is that they want to destabilize

00:26:55.380 Western societies, and they're all about authoritarian rule. And so Mossadegh is

00:27:01.480 literally no different than the Islamic Republic, right? Like two sides of the same coin here. And

00:27:07.200 in fact, as we have seen in previous documentaries that I've live streamed about the Islamic

00:27:13.340 Republic, one of the reasons that the 1979 Islamic Revolution was successful is because

00:27:18.940 the Islamic regime and the Islamists were actually supported by communists, like, you know, people

00:27:26.100 who supported Mossadegh. So 100% right, communists, leftists and jihadis don't care about things like

00:27:33.440 constitutions or laws. And that's why Mossadegh tried to, he tried to suspend and dissolve the

00:27:39.320 parliament, right? Like, which, which prime minister in their right mind would just say,

00:27:44.920 you know what, now that I'm in power, I'm going to dissolve parliament and I'm going to take

00:27:49.380 control for myself. That's what this evil man did. And yet for some reason, the communist and

00:27:55.900 leftist narrative has prevailed in Western media. And that narrative is Mossaddiq was democratically

00:28:04.000 elected and the Shah was a dictator. No, this guy, Mossaddiq was the actual authoritarian dictator,

00:28:10.600 As you can see from the proof and the documents provided in this documentary.

00:28:17.960 But when it became clear that Mossadegh wanted to overthrow the parliamentary monarchy, the masses mobilized and occupied Tehran.

00:28:27.360 Wait, did you guys catch that?

00:28:28.960 So he said when it became clear that Mossadegh wanted to overthrow the parliamentary monarchy, right?

00:28:36.720 So again, parliament and monarchy.

00:28:39.300 this is what these people don't want you to know about they don't want you to know the truth listen

00:28:43.640 to this again right saw it as a necessary evil to nationalize the oil industry but when it became

00:28:50.600 clear that Mossadegh wanted to overthrow the parliamentary monarchy the masses mobilized

00:28:57.040 and occupied Tehran declaring their loyalty to the Shah and his appointed prime minister Zahedi

00:29:02.940 okay so again this is important guys this is part of the narrative that the jihadis and the

00:29:09.340 islamists and communists don't want you to know so when musadik tried to consolidate power the

00:29:14.640 iranian people actually took to the streets and said no we don't want you um we want the shah

00:29:21.680 and we want the shah's new appointed prime minister who was zahidi right because these

00:29:28.340 people who know nothing about Iran, or they know something about Iran, but they want to fool

00:29:33.120 non-Iranians, they will claim that the Shah overthrew Mossadegh and then Iran became an

00:29:40.460 authoritarian dictatorship, which is 100% false. The Shah did not overthrow Mossadegh. He replaced

00:29:48.240 Mossadegh with a different prime minister, Zahidi, someone who was actually loyal to the constitution

00:29:55.160 of Iran. Again, that was the Shah's job, right? Like that's the Shah's role within the constitution.

00:30:03.140 So the Shah was not acting outside of the scope of his power. He was using the powers given to

00:30:09.660 him by the constitution to protect Iran from turning into an authoritarian dictatorship

00:30:16.640 under Mossadegh, right? But again, you never hear this side of the story. You never hear this side

00:30:24.640 of the narrative you just hear the narrative that's pushed by the islamists and the communists

00:30:29.300 because all they want to do is demonize the shah because that that demonizing is what allows them

00:30:37.800 to legitimize um overthrowing the shah in 1979 and turning iran into a seventh century islamic

00:30:46.100 hellhole governed by sharia law because if you actually look at what led to the 1979 islamic

00:30:53.060 revolution it's all based on fake news false information and takia and as you can see that's

00:31:00.560 exactly what's happening here um in 1953 when Mossadegh sent the army to restore order the army

00:31:07.720 sided with the people and the constitution here we go despite all the documents mentioned

00:31:16.640 there is not the slightest hint of a massive CIA involvement in the overthrow of Mossad

00:31:23.080 on August 19. Yet, professional historical revisionists, well organized in universities

00:31:29.600 and the media, constantly stress the opposite. The most prominent of these historical revisionists

00:31:36.160 being Ervant Abrahemian and Malcolm Byrne. First, let's look at Mr. Abrahemian. In his book,

00:31:43.320 coup d'etat guys didn't we see this guy in like some documentary i'm pretty sure that we saw him

00:31:49.400 maybe it was the al jazeera documentary but i feel like we've seen um this communist guy

00:31:55.080 in one of the previous documentaries we watched about the 1979 islamic revolution

00:32:01.080 um i mean we we must have rated it either as like a zero or like a three or something but i feel

00:32:08.440 like we've seen this guy and um yeah he's one of the ones that just pushes the the fake news

00:32:14.280 propaganda um about about mossadar and you know all that communist nonsense abrahamian claims that

00:32:23.240 the plans for the events of the 19th of august were implemented after the meeting between u.s

00:32:28.920 ambassador lloy henderson and mossadar on august 18th one day before the overthrow but if we check

00:32:36.520 the CIA reports on that specific day, we not only see that the CIA had no plans or predictions for

00:32:45.220 that day, but that the United States was even preparing for a compromise with Mossadegh.

00:32:50.440 Let's look at this character for a moment. Ibrahimian is not only a sympathizer of the

00:32:56.580 Islamic Republic, justifying their rule as an inevitable response to American imperialism.

00:33:03.460 And there you have it, guys. So the people who are pushing this this false narrative about Mossad versus the Shah of Iran are people who literally support the Islamic Republic.

00:33:14.620 So do you now understand how this propaganda and fake news has circulated? Because these Islamists and these jihadis infiltrate Western societies, right? They infiltrate academia, and then they write these books, and then those books are picked up by non-Iranians, right?

00:33:35.280 And so that's how this narrative comes into play, even though this guy is showing you that what he is saying does not actually align with the CIA documents at the time.

00:33:49.140 But he is also a sympathizer of the past terrorist Tudor Party in Iran.

00:33:54.960 Tudor Party, by the way, was fully funded by the Soviets at the time.

00:33:59.900 So the Tudor party was basically a communist Marxist group funded by Moscow in order to destabilize Iran and to try and turn Iran into a Russian proxy.

00:34:14.540 Because at that time, Iran and the Soviet bloc shared a border.

00:34:18.740 His interview with Fatiba Amini on August 18, 2020, he described the Tudor party as follows.

00:34:26.140 The Tudor Party was actually a nationalist party with leftist tendencies.

00:34:32.060 A nationalist party.

00:34:34.260 Let this description melt in your mouth.

00:34:36.540 For everyone who does not know, the Tudor Party was a communist party founded by the USSR

00:34:41.340 during the Soviet occupation of Iran in 1941.

00:34:45.400 They were one of the most active parties who continuously worked towards the overture of the Pahlavi dynasty

00:34:51.620 and with it the destruction of the Iranian state.

00:34:54.060 In 1944, the Trude Party entered Iranian parliament, where they supported the Soviet policies in Iran without protest.

00:35:02.000 The Trude Party not only supported Moscow's plans to balkanize northern Iran, but also held its fourth plenum in Moscow under the direct supervision of the Soviet Union.

00:35:13.480 Now, imagine someone who describes the treacherous Marxist-Leninist Trude Party as a nationalist party being an Iran expert, let alone being a credible historian.

00:35:24.060 Having ticked off Mr. Abrahamian, let's proceed to the other history forger, Malcolm Byrne.

00:35:28.920 Since 2013, various individuals and media outlets have repeatedly referenced a website and a fake headline

00:35:36.800 that has nothing to do with the CIA to prove that the CIA acknowledged its role on August 19.

00:35:44.600 This website is linked to the Washington State University and has absolutely no ties to the CIA.

00:35:50.800 The fact that the CIA's official website has never admitted to playing a role in Mossadegh's overthrow

00:35:57.080 just proves that this headline is made up and backed by no evidence.

00:36:03.020 Did you guys catch that?

00:36:04.800 So there's nothing in CIA documentation that actually shows the CIA had anything to do with 1953.

00:36:13.200 And everything that these people are relying upon is based on things that they've made up themselves.

00:36:20.800 right like like there's no actual cia documentation or evidence uh to to back this up so-called the

00:36:29.340 national security archive website is run by journalists and masquerades as a government

00:36:34.680 site the map you can see here was designed by ali rahnamo one of mosaddegh's admirers 60 years

00:36:41.400 after mosaddegh's removal it has been inserted into the release document so that the wio believes

00:36:46.720 that this was part of a pre-arranged cia plan to attack musadik's house the funniest thing about

00:36:53.420 this article with the fake headline cia confession is the use of pictures with the watermark of the

00:37:01.220 institute for the study of contemporary history of the islamic republic of iran do you see that

00:37:09.080 So they're literally using images that have watermarks from places affiliated with the Islamic Republic.

00:37:18.140 So do you see how this whole fake narrative about Mossadegh and the Shah is something that's even being promoted by the Islamic Republic itself?

00:37:29.120 Do you know why? Because Islamists and communists are two sides of the same coin and they're both trying to delegitimize the authority and legitimacy of the Shah of Iran because only by delegitimizing the authority and legitimacy of the Shah of Iran can they then claim that they were correct to do what they did in 1979.

00:37:53.140 So everything that they've done is based on fake information, disinformation, taqiyah.

00:38:01.740 And of course, they're now trying to justify turning Iran into a 1979 Islamic hellhole governed by Sharia law.

00:38:09.500 I wonder how secret the CIA documents must be if even the Islamic Republic of Iran has access to them.

00:38:17.640 It is also interesting to note that in this article in which Malcolm Byrne claims to have published documents on the role of the CIA on August 19, his second document proves the opposite.

00:38:31.880 It states that the CIA admitted,

00:38:35.060 The nationalists and communists during this period inadvertently assisted our cause through their premature attempts to promote a republican government.

00:38:43.780 This theme was contrary to the public's opinion, whose sympathies were with the Shah.

00:38:51.540 The Shah's dramatic flight out of the country served to further intensify his people's sense of loyalty to him.

00:38:57.740 This action resulted in literal revolt of the population.

00:39:02.900 To sum it up, Malcolm Byrne, who wrote this fake article, is not representative of the CIA and was never authorized to comment on their behalf.

00:39:16.000 The goal of the National Front, since its foundation by Mossadegh, was the overthrow of Iran's parliamentary monarchy

00:39:23.480 and the abolition of its constitution to establish a republic although not everyone

00:39:29.020 within the national front was subscribed to this one could say that Mossadegh's national front was

00:39:33.700 in fact the legal continuation of the communists to the party which had been declared illegal

00:39:38.360 after a failed assassination attempt on the shah of iran while the national yeah no one ever talks

00:39:43.100 about how the communists tried to assassinate the shah of iran um in like the i think it was like the

00:39:49.500 late 1940s early 1950s right no one ever talks about that no no one ever talks about how most

00:39:56.380 that dip was literally um connected to people who tried to assassinate the shah of iran right

00:40:02.660 and uh major yeah 100 like he looks like a goblin um we like to you know refer to him as

00:40:12.380 as the iranian nosferatu because he literally looks like nosferatu

00:40:16.480 The National Front championed Mossadegh's authoritarianism in Parliament.

00:40:20.300 The Tudor Party organized violent demonstrations in the streets.

00:40:23.620 Both parties were working hand in hand to abolish Iran's constitutional monarchy.

00:40:28.820 Does that sound familiar, guys?

00:40:30.780 Like all these like communist parties in, you know, funded by the Soviets in Iran

00:40:36.480 were encouraging people to go into the streets and try to destabilize the country

00:40:41.680 and overthrow the constitution.

00:40:43.420 Does that sound familiar?

00:40:44.420 does that sound like i don't know antifa in your countries does that sound like all the you know

00:40:50.080 marxist socialist you know people's movement whatever um garbage movements in western countries

00:40:58.120 you know all of these far left socialist marxist countries working to destabilize

00:41:05.140 your societies does that sound familiar it happened in iran it was happening in iran for

00:41:11.920 a very very long time right all funded by the soviets

00:41:19.120 was that was contrary to circulating claims not a democratically elected prime minister

00:41:25.360 the iranian constitution did not provide for free elections okay so i want to go back and we're

00:41:31.040 going to play this part again because this is critical guys this talks about how the constitution

00:41:36.800 actually works, guys. This is important. And this is going to directly counter

00:41:44.320 the false narrative that Mossadegh was democratically elected. Mossadegh was never

00:41:49.920 democratically elected. Pay attention to this part. Organized violent demonstrations in the streets.

00:41:55.120 Both parties were working hand in hand to abolish Iran's constitutional monarchy. Mossadegh was,

00:42:01.360 contrary to circulating claims not a democratically elected prime minister the iranian constitution

00:42:07.760 did not provide for free elections of the prime minister but for the shah to appoint and remove

00:42:12.400 the prime minister and when in 1952 the parliament refused to grant mossad additional powers

00:42:18.960 mossad got enraged and immediately resigned so you didn't receive emergency powers and decided to throw

00:42:25.600 a sand room very major did you catch that so it's no one just you know becomes the democratically

00:42:34.640 elected prime minister the prime minister is appointed by the shah and removed by the shah

00:42:40.140 and then replaced with someone else okay so again even the sentence morsad dip was democratically

00:42:46.240 you know the democratically elected prime minister literally does not make sense because there's no

00:42:52.360 formal mechanism for anyone to become the democratically elected prime minister. The

00:42:58.420 prime minister was always appointed by the Shah. And in fact, Mossadegh resigned in 1952 because

00:43:05.840 when he wanted to gain more powers, the parliament said no. Right, guys? It wasn't the Shah who said

00:43:12.900 no, it was the parliament. Listen to this part again because this part, he goes a little bit

00:43:18.660 quickly, but this is important because it wasn't the Shah who said to Mossadegh, you know, you

00:43:25.380 can't dissolve parliament. It was, it was parliament themselves. And again, parliament,

00:43:30.400 people who are democratically elected. So the democratically elected politicians in Iran

00:43:35.800 said to Mossadegh, no, we're not going to allow you to gain unilateral control of the country.

00:43:42.500 In parliament, the Tuta party organized violent demonstrations in the streets.

00:43:46.920 Both parties were working hand-in-hand to abolish Iran's constitutional monarchy.

00:43:52.420 Mossadegh was, contrary to circulating claims, not a democratically elected prime minister.

00:43:58.600 The Iranian constitution did not provide for free elections of the prime minister,

00:44:02.680 but for the Shah to appoint and remove the prime minister.

00:44:05.640 And when in 1952 the parliament refused to grant Mossadegh additional powers,

00:44:11.040 Mossadegh got enraged and immediately resigned.

00:44:13.500 So you didn't receive emergency powers and decided to throw a tantrum?

00:44:18.660 Very major.

00:44:19.660 Ahmed Gavam became the next prime minister,

00:44:21.740 but was met with massive protests from Mossadegh supporters,

00:44:25.580 especially the Tudor party, demanding the resignation of Ahmed Gavam.

00:44:30.600 Ask yourself why people who supported the Tudor party were upset by this.

00:44:36.460 Again, the Tudor party, as mentioned in this documentary,

00:44:39.880 was created by Moscow.

00:44:41.640 It was funded by Moscow and the two-day party, the whole purpose of the two-day party was to destabilize Iran and hand it over to the Soviets and turn Iran into another Russian proxy of the Soviets at the time.

00:44:55.400 The two-day party was protesting.

00:44:58.080 To avoid a civil war reinstated Mossadegh as prime minister and the parliament was forced to accept Mossadegh's demands for further emergency powers, which empowered him to rule the country by decree.

00:45:08.900 After the overthrow of Mossadegh's government, subsequent interrogations of traitors proved that most of Mossadegh's followers were today communists who wanted to use Mossadegh to overthrow the Pahlavi dynasty and then to take control over Iran and establish a republic.

00:45:25.460 It is said that they were already planning to proclaim a republic on February 20, 1953,

00:45:32.260 when they heard that the Shah had to go abroad on a medical trip,

00:45:36.040 but failed since the Iranians, fearing Mossadegh would overthrow a monarchy in the Shah's absence,

00:45:41.900 organized demonstrations, demanding the Shah to stay.

00:45:45.080 On that day, the Shah made the following remarks.

00:45:47.580 Despite the fact that my illness has been forcing me to travel abroad for a long time,

00:45:52.340 and despite the fact that I wanted to visit the holy shite in Iraq today and then travel to Europe

00:45:58.140 for treatment, I decided to cancel because I see that you demand my presence here. I have no choice

00:46:04.160 but to postpone my trip for the time being. Of course, like everyone else in this country,

00:46:09.020 I have a duty to fulfill and accept the demands of the people. And if the people do not want me to

00:46:14.720 travel and be treated, I will have to cancel this trip. Contrary to what is reported by the leftist

00:46:20.700 media, we don't see here the image of a cruel despot, but the image of a dutiful king loved by

00:46:28.020 his people. The leftist media, who likes to call the Shah of Iran a puppet of the West, should read

00:46:33.180 the following CIA report on the Shah. The Shah has vivacity, imagination, and wit, tempered with a

00:46:40.380 deep sense of personal dignity and almost mystical feeling of his mission and duty to Iran. The Shah

00:46:46.340 identifies himself strongly with the iranian army considering himself a qualified strategist and

00:46:52.480 tactician devoting a great deal of his private fortune on charities his popularity is now much

00:46:58.380 greater than at his accession were he to make himself absolute dictator on the model of his

00:47:03.780 father the iranian so even the cia guys even the cia documents say that his popularity today is

00:47:11.380 much more than it was at the time of his succession. So even the CIA itself is admitting

00:47:16.080 that the Shah of Iran became the Shah of Iran in 1941, not in 1953. Okay. So again, this whole

00:47:23.840 fake narrative of the CIA installing the Shah in 1953 makes no sense because according to the

00:47:32.400 documents themselves, even the CIA admits that the Shah became the Shah in 1941, which is established

00:47:39.520 common knowledge. And yet all these people who try to paint Mossadegh as this democratically

00:47:45.180 elected prime minister know nothing about the real history of Iran. So I hope that this is

00:47:51.660 giving you guys a little bit of input and insight into the kind of Islamic communist propaganda

00:47:58.780 that has unfortunately dominated Western discourse about Iranian politics. Again,

00:48:07.760 these things are a non-issue for us Iranians and Farsi because we know our history. We know

00:48:14.640 what happened. But unfortunately for non-Iranians, because the Islamists and communists have

00:48:21.620 control of the narrative, you guys are getting a totally false narrative. And this documentary

00:48:30.920 is actually exposing that and this documentary is showing you the truth about what actually

00:48:39.020 happened during that time. People would acquiesce, but his attachment to democratic principles

00:48:45.140 prevents such a step. These are the CIA's own words. The CIA would have to be very stupid to

00:48:52.240 use such a patriotic man to exploit Iran. What many do not realize, the Shah did not oppose

00:49:00.000 Mossadegh nationalization of the oil industry. On the contrary, the Shah and Mossadegh were on the

00:49:06.380 same page regarding this issue. The problem, however, was that even though the Shah had given

00:49:12.100 Mossadegh every opportunity to develop a constructive oil policy, Mossadegh was unable

00:49:19.380 to lead a constructive policy. Did you hear that? So the Shah was not against nationalization. The

00:49:26.260 Shah was pro-nationalization. What he said to Mossadegh is, I agree, let's nationalize the oil.

00:49:34.840 You're the prime minister, come up with a good policy for how to get that done. Mossadegh being

00:49:41.460 the idiot that he was, also being someone who was an authoritarian figure, didn't actually know how

00:49:50.040 to do that because he didn't really care about that. He cared more about consolidating power.

00:49:54.420 So again, right, so all those people in the comments who claim that the Shah was against nationalizing the oil, the Shah was literally pro nationalization of the oil. And when he asked Mossadegh, okay, how do we do it? He couldn't come up with an answer. So let's go back and pay attention to that part again, because that's, again, part of that fake news narrative that people like to throw out there, right?

00:50:21.340 stupid to use such a patriotic man to exploit iran what man oh raider welcome thank you for

00:50:30.860 being here thank you for the support always great to see you raider i hope you are enjoying

00:50:35.660 this live stream where we are debunking the most widely spread uh disinformation about

00:50:45.900 Iranian history, which is Mossadegh and the 1953 so-called coup d'etat. So thank you and welcome

00:50:54.140 and enjoy. We do not realize the Shah did not oppose Mossadegh nationalization of the whole

00:51:02.400 industry. On the contrary, the Shah and Mossadegh were on the same page regarding this issue.

00:51:08.840 The problem, however, was that even though the Shah had given Mossadegh every opportunity to

00:51:15.220 develop a constructive oil policy, Mossadegh was unable to lead a constructive policy,

00:51:22.420 sank into destructiveness, depression, and instead blamed Dishar for his failures.

00:51:27.440 What a jerk! Even his own party members had begun to criticize him. Thereupon Mossadegh

00:51:33.300 made the parliament incurrate by forbidding his supporters to participate. Whoever resisted was

00:51:39.720 beaten up by his gangs due to the oil shortages and the resulting enormous economic problems

00:51:46.660 caused by his populist economic policies Mossadegh had several millions dollars worth of money

00:51:53.500 printed without sufficient gold backing which what does that sound like does that not sound like

00:51:59.960 every leftist government out there where they're like oh we're running out of money let's just

00:52:04.460 print more like all these lefties communists socialist marxists they all think the same they

00:52:09.980 all operate the same um and they all have like disastrous um economic and financial policies

00:52:17.260 for their countries like this guy was literally just ordering people to print money because he

00:52:22.860 was running out of it with no um no actual understanding of how the economy works which

00:52:29.740 caused high inflation. Does this sound familiar to you? Mossadegh had moved closer to the Tudor

00:52:36.700 party in his second term. He was working closely with them and Simon. Remember the Tudor party was

00:52:44.120 a communist Marxist party that was created by the Soviets and was basically funded by them as well

00:52:51.480 and the purpose of the Tudor party was to destabilize Iran and to turn Iran into a proxy

00:52:58.220 of the soviets at the time simultaneously infiltrated the imperial army with today

00:53:03.960 communists by mid-1953 however the iranians had realized that the goal of mosaddegh's oil policy

00:53:11.840 was to drive the british out of the country so that the soviets could move in and boom there we

00:53:19.500 go that's what i have been constantly saying mosaddegh has had zero intention of actually

00:53:26.060 nationalizing Iran's oil. Mossadegh was a Soviet KGB asset, and everything he was doing was

00:53:34.060 basically to turn Iran into a Soviet proxy. He didn't want to nationalize the oil. He wanted to

00:53:41.040 give control of Iran's oil to the Soviets at the time, because again, Mossadegh was a communist.

00:53:48.900 He was funded by the Soviets. He was funded by the two days, right? The two days being the Russian

00:53:54.580 soviet party in iran and finally this this documentary got to the crux of the matter

00:54:01.460 which is mosat was an implanted soviet asset whose purpose was to try and give all of the oil

00:54:10.260 in iran to the soviets this is the real truth about what was going on and the shah put a stop

00:54:18.100 to it by getting rid of Mossadegh and appointing a different prime minister. Omid, you're 100%

00:54:26.820 right. Mossadegh was basically like a mini-Putin who could speak Farsi at the time, 100%. I agree

00:54:33.620 with this analysis. And so the unity between the Shah, Mossadegh, and the parliament that

00:54:41.220 had prevailed at the beginning of the confrontations with the British was now broken.

00:54:48.100 yes the american okay everyone who loves to talk about operation ajax operation pay attention to

00:54:56.700 to this part okay because this part is going to finally um explain what operation ajax is all

00:55:04.280 about because again all of these non-iranians love to just throw buzzwords out there right

00:55:10.700 they throw buzzwords out there without actually understanding what's going on so now you'll get

00:55:18.360 the full picture about operation ajax and wanted to overthrow masadaq and they did try but the

00:55:25.940 point is that they failed miserably and then tried to mend relations with him as we will see

00:55:31.860 eventually the iranians did the job on their own the name operation ajax that has gone down in

00:55:37.020 history was actually tp ajax tp for the communists to the party and ajax for the cleaner ajax although

00:55:43.980 mosaddegh was not a communist himself he often enlisted their support the communists in iran

00:55:49.100 were the main source of mosaddegh's power and the americans feared a communist takeover if

00:55:54.300 mosaddegh would remain in power both the to the party as well as mosaddegh hated the pahlavi

00:56:00.460 dynasty cooperation with the to the party suited mosaddegh well who had a personal vendetta with

00:56:06.380 with the Pahlavi dynasty for deposing the previous Qajar dynasty, to whom he was related to.

00:56:11.580 Furthermore, for the Tudor party, Mossadegh's nationalization of the oil industry

00:56:15.400 was an important step towards a socialist Iran.

00:56:19.000 On June 10, 1953, the Soviet Union in Iran signed a new economic agreement.

00:56:23.740 In further negotiations, the Soviet Union offered to return Iranian gold reserves.

00:56:29.280 It had ceased during World War II, border issues were to be settled in Iran's favor,

00:56:33.240 and the Soviet-Iranian Friendship Treaty of 1921 was to be renegotiated.

00:56:39.260 This, of course, worried the Americans who expected a communist takeover if Mossadegh was not to be stopped.

00:56:46.540 After all, the Tudy Party was very well organized in Iran

00:56:50.840 and had built a secret network of middlemen in politics, the army and even the Shah's Imperial Guard.

00:56:57.940 In fact, the very same scenario took place in Czechoslovakia not too long ago.

00:57:04.200 Anatoly Lavrentiev, the man who was the Soviet ambassador to Iran,

00:57:08.540 had also been the Soviet ambassador to Czechoslovakia in 1948,

00:57:12.720 and he had played an important role in the overthrow of the liberal president, Dr. Benes.

00:57:18.360 Benes, like Mossadegh, had been the head of a national front government.

00:57:22.420 So, fun fact, just recently, the Czech Republic, you know, after overthrowing communism, so the Soviets were successful in turning, you know, in taking over the Czech Republic at the time, Czechoslovakia.

00:57:37.320 But fun fact, Czech Republic just recently banned communism. You know why? Because communism is a serious threat to freedom and liberalism.

00:57:49.740 I mean, so I'm glad that the Americans took the threat in Iran seriously because the Soviets were actively, actively destabilizing various countries, overthrowing them, imposing communism and then getting them to, you know, forcing them to join the Soviet communist bloc.

00:58:10.440 He had come under increasing Soviet pressure so that at the end of his reign, the non-communist members of his government resigned and the communists took power.

00:58:19.740 During his three years in office, Mossadegh had not managed to reach an agreement with the British on the nationalization of their oil refineries.

00:58:29.000 The Americans who up to then had only played a mediating role between Britain and Iran and were giving large amounts of loans to Mossadegh were now facing a dilemma.

00:58:39.900 On the one hand, the US did not want to finance Mossadegh's insane policies.

00:58:44.800 But on the other hand, they had to finance Mossadegh's regime so that Iran would not further drive into the hands of the communists.

00:58:51.800 To solve this issue, the United States decided to support the anti-Mossadegh coalition in Iran,

00:58:56.820 who had formed because of Mossadegh's ever-increasing despotic rule and disastrous economic policies.

00:59:02.660 The solution was finally Operation TP-Ajax.

00:59:05.740 The plan was to create a pro-Western government and at the same time to prevent the Tudor Party,

00:59:11.240 which was under the control of the Soviet Union, from coming to power.

00:59:14.320 And thus, the United States sent CIA agent Kermit Roosevelt to meet with resistance leader, General Zahedi, a man who owned large estates and was considered a strict anti-communist.

00:59:25.380 Zahedi was a man who had initially supported Mossadegh's national front, but had fallen out with Mossadegh because, unlike Mossadegh, he was against a cooperation with the communists.

00:59:36.260 After his breakup with Mossadegh, Zahidi became a member of the Committee of the Salvation of the Fatherland,

00:59:42.000 Komitein Nejate Vatan, also called Committee of 46,

00:59:45.740 a resistant movement among Iranian officers and civilians

00:59:49.000 who wanted to restore the constitutional monarchy and save Iran from a communist takeover.

00:59:54.020 General Zahidi was a patriotic Iranian, very anti-British,

00:59:59.180 who was in fact interned by the British after their troops occupied Iran during World War II.

01:00:04.000 The objective of Operation TP-Ajax was to prevent Iran from falling behind the Iron Curtain

01:00:10.400 and to stop the Tudor Party from taking power over Iran.

01:00:13.500 TP-Ajax was supposed to be a quasi-legal coup,

01:00:16.120 that is, the Americans would bribe 20 parliament members

01:00:18.840 so they would join the rest of the anti-Masadric opposition in parliament and dismiss him.

01:00:23.700 Simultaneously, the Shah would appoint Zahedi as chief of staff,

01:00:27.340 then parliament would give a vote of confidence to him

01:00:30.040 so that the Shah appoints Zahedi as the new prime minister.

01:00:32.580 and if parliament refuses to cooperate the Shah should order the imperial guard to remove Mossadegh

01:00:37.420 by force and then Zahedi will emerge victorious and accept the decree of prime minister.

01:00:42.260 TP Ajax was supposed to be carried out on august 16th three days before Mossadegh's actual removal

01:00:47.860 by the Iranian people but failed because Mossadegh who had heard about the plan to dismiss him

01:00:53.760 as prime minister launched a full-on milky coup d'etat. Okay so guys again so operation Ajax

01:01:02.280 actually failed. Operation Ajax failed because Mossadegh found out about it. So what actually

01:01:11.360 happened is it was the Iranian people who overthrew Mossadegh. And again, as you can see,

01:01:17.980 the reason that Operation Ajax even became a thing in the first place is because the Americans

01:01:23.680 found out that Iranians were trying to overthrow Mossadegh. The Americans were worried about Iran

01:01:30.180 falling behind the Iron Curtain the way that

01:01:34.220 Czechoslovakia had at the time. And so the Americans

01:01:38.120 were trying to prevent the spread of communism. Now Operation Ajax

01:01:42.000 actually failed because Mossadegh found out about it. And as soon as

01:01:46.000 Mossadegh found out, he is the one who attempted

01:01:49.160 a military coup d'etat. And then three days later, the Iranians

01:01:54.300 were like, no, Mossadegh, we're not going to let you take over. You are done.

01:01:57.820 you are over uh bye so let's go back pay attention to this part again because this is really

01:02:04.480 important like the dates and the facts matter here guys Mossadegh by force and then Zahiri

01:02:10.120 would emerge victorious and accept the decree of prime minister TP Ajax was supposed to be

01:02:14.780 carried out on august 16th three days before Mossadegh's actual removal by the Iranian people

01:02:20.420 but failed because Mossadegh who had heard about the plan to dismiss him as prime minister launched

01:02:26.940 a full-on military coup d'etat. TPHX, however, also failed to a large extent because the Shah

01:02:33.740 refused to cooperate with the CIA. The Shah rejected all the plans and no part of the plan

01:02:42.620 could get operationalized. Did you hear that? So the Shah actually refused to cooperate with the CIA.

01:02:50.160 so again this whole narrative about the cia installing the shah it doesn't live up to

01:02:58.660 scrutiny it's literally this islamist communist propaganda that is being pushed by people who

01:03:07.020 are trying to smear and delegitimize the um legitimate authority of the shah of iran right

01:03:15.140 like they're saying themselves the shah did not cooperate with operation ajax

01:03:21.320 the shah argued that he would dismiss Mossadegh only if he did something illegal and that he

01:03:28.240 would never go against the constitution he had sworn to keep Mossadegh on the other hand violated

01:03:33.500 the constitution on august 13 1953 by dissolving the parliament through a silly show he called a

01:03:40.760 referendum. Mossadegh's so-called referendum to abolish the parliament was held between August 3rd

01:03:47.040 and August 10th. Mossadegh, the great democrat for free elections, ordered that those who were

01:03:53.820 against him had to vote in specially marked polling booths. The result was that 99% had

01:03:59.740 voted for the dissolution of the parliament because the... Did you see that? Like how is that

01:04:04.480 a free and fair referendum when he basically says anyone who's voting against me has to vote in a

01:04:10.360 special booth. Like you're basically identifying who you are. So there was nothing fair or free

01:04:15.840 about the so-called referendum that the so-called democratically elected prime minister had,

01:04:22.980 right? But again, these are the facts and these are the details that non-Iranians either don't

01:04:28.680 know about or they're hiding because they don't want you to know the truth about what actually

01:04:34.340 happened. Population was afraid of Mossadegh's terror squads who systematically murdered those

01:04:40.780 who voted against Mossadegh. It must also be said that many voters were basically illiterate peasants

01:04:47.460 who didn't know what they were even voting for and therefore had no vote of their own.

01:04:53.000 So again, people who voted against Mossadegh were murdered, right? So there's, you know,

01:04:57.860 your so-called democratically elected prime minister literally murdering people who voted

01:05:02.820 against him. And remember, this is the guy who was against education. This is the guy who was

01:05:08.980 against building railroads. This is the guy who was against modernizing Iran, okay? So he basically

01:05:16.460 wanted to keep the Iranian population destitute, uneducated, and illiterate, because that's the

01:05:25.420 only way that he could see himself controlling the masses, is by keeping them uneducated and

01:05:31.080 illiterate thus mossadak's referendum looked more like this general aladdin won 98.8 percent of the

01:05:39.800 vote just to give you an idea how rich i can't believe they made a reference to um the movie

01:05:46.280 the dictator but it's a hundred percent hundred percent true ridiculous this referendum was in

01:05:52.280 some towns where the population was around three thousand there was a turnout of six hundred percent

01:05:59.000 had the dead also worked here the shah would condemn his rick does that sound familiar to

01:06:04.840 you guys like all this voter fraud that's happening um the voter fraud is very common

01:06:10.360 when it comes to the left and the communist parties right again let's go back pay attention

01:06:15.560 to this so there were villages where there was 600 percent voter turnout like how is that how

01:06:21.240 is that possible what they were even voting for and therefore had no vote of their own

01:06:26.440 thus mossadak's referendum looked more like this general aladdin won 98.8 percent of the vote

01:06:34.680 just to give you an idea how ridiculous this referendum was in some towns where the population

01:06:40.760 was around 3 000 there was a turnout of 600 percent had the dead also worked here the

01:06:47.880 shah who condemned his rick referendum wrote in his memoirs mossadak's bulldoze elections

01:06:52.840 had cost hundreds of people their lives. Mossadegh wanted to make himself the absolute dictator

01:06:57.880 and had nothing else in his mind but to overthrow me and my dynasty. Accordingly, the Shah instructed

01:07:03.480 Colonel Naseri, commander of the imperial guard, to bring Mossadegh the certificate of impeachment

01:07:09.240 and General Zahidi the order to form a new government. With the dissolution of parliament,

01:07:14.440 Mossadegh had given the Shah the right to remove him and replace him with another prime minister.

01:07:20.200 according to the constitution the shah had the wrong so again this is something you never hear

01:07:24.600 in the narrative right it's not like the shah was just you know turning iran into an authoritarian

01:07:30.600 dictatorship no the shah was saving iran from an authoritarian dictator and he was using the

01:07:37.800 powers he had granted to him by the constitution of iran to depose of the prime minister and to

01:07:46.360 bring in a new prime minister right someone who wasn't hell-bent on turning iran into a soviet

01:07:55.320 proxy tried to dismiss the prime minister after the dissolution of parliament and to replace him

01:08:02.280 with an interim prime minister until new parliamentary elections were held so much

01:08:06.360 for the shah being an unconstitutional dictator ergo the shah made it clear to the cia that he

01:08:11.160 would only remove mossadek legally which he did therefore the cia did not play in a significant

01:08:18.520 role in the legal removal of the illegal government of the unelected dictator mossadek

01:08:25.080 did you catch that so the cia did not play alone play a role in the legal removal of the um

01:08:34.760 let's let's just go back like he he says this perfectly the cia did not play a role listen to

01:08:39.960 this he shall had the right to dismiss the prime minister after the dissolution of parliament and

01:08:45.720 to replace him with an interim prime minister until new parliamentary elections were held

01:08:50.120 so much for the shaw being an unconstitutional dictator ergo the shaw made it clear to the cia

01:08:55.080 that he would only remove mossadegh legally which he did therefore the cia did not play

01:09:01.480 in a significant role in the legal removal of the illegal government of the unelected dictator

01:09:07.800 there you go so the shah did not play uh a role in the illegal removal uh in the sorry the cia

01:09:21.800 did not play a role in the legal removal of the unelected uh prime minister and his illegal

01:09:29.800 government right that's like another prime minister that is according to the constitution

01:09:37.800 such an important and profound sentence there and again no one no one really pays attention to that

01:09:44.180 no one really focuses on that fact. Dishaw had the right to dismiss the prime minister

01:09:49.200 after the dissolution of parliament and to replace him with an interim prime minister

01:09:53.920 until new parliamentary elections were held. So much for Dishaw being an unconstitutional

01:09:58.340 dictator. Ergo Dishaw made it clear to the CIA that he would only remove Mossadegh legally

01:10:03.440 which he did. Therefore, the CIA did not play a significant role in the legal removal of the

01:10:11.360 illegal government of the unelected dictator Mossadegh. In the verbal report, we also see that

01:10:17.280 even though the United States and Britain repeatedly threaten the Shah that if he does

01:10:22.480 not cooperate with them, they will end his reign. The Shah categorically rejects all offers and says

01:10:29.820 that if Mossadegh holds a referendum to resolve the parliament, I will dismiss Mossadegh legally.

01:10:36.780 In a meeting with U.S. Ambassador in May 1953,

01:10:40.980 the Shah states emphatically that first, if Zahedi is to become prime minister,

01:10:45.440 it must be through legal means, no coup.

01:10:48.800 Secondly, if the new government does not receive financial and economic assistance

01:10:54.280 caused by Mossadegh's disastrous policies,

01:10:57.020 I would prefer Mosaddegh to remain prime minister what we see in these

01:11:01.160 documents about the events that led to August 19 is the sincerity from the Shah

01:11:07.040 who despite all the threats of the great powers in his youth with dignity and

01:11:13.760 courage even at the cost of threatening his kingship and his life does not

01:11:20.420 undertake illegal action and respects the law and acts only where the

01:11:25.640 constitution authorizes him. After TP Ajax failed the US government decided to

01:11:30.920 improve relations with Mossadegh and the CIA orders Roosevelt to take no

01:11:35.360 further actions. At this point the Americans thought that Mossadegh was

01:11:39.080 going to remain in power for about two months until the communists would oust

01:11:43.820 him and therefore not only did the CIA cease activities against Mossadegh but

01:11:48.980 they even decided to support him following their failed plan to remove

01:11:52.760 him so i don't know um who made this documentary but so far for me it is um like i would say it's

01:12:02.520 a 10 out of 10 the only reason that i'm giving it a 9 out of 10 is because um he speaks a little bit

01:12:09.720 too quickly and so for non-iranians it's kind of hard to follow but everything he has said so far

01:12:16.680 is 100 accurate um i wish that someone would take this documentary and turn it into like a full

01:12:26.200 fledged um high level production because this documentary could very easily counter

01:12:33.720 the islamist and jihadi narratives that have been put out there um about you know musad being

01:12:39.960 democratically elected you know all that nonsense right like this documentary is 100 accurate

01:12:46.440 100 facts but um because it's just like an independent i mean it looks like it was you

01:12:53.720 know someone just did it independently um because they want to share the truth and the guy's

01:12:59.640 obviously an iranian because when he um when he says certain words or phrases or names in persian

01:13:07.880 you know he speaks with um no iranian accent right like like so it's pretty obvious that this

01:13:14.760 This is an Iranian who made this documentary to try and share the truth about the 1953 so-called coup d'etat.

01:13:24.280 The reason it doesn't have more views or more attention is because, you know, it is very, very low budget.

01:13:30.560 But again, everything he's saying is 100 percent true.

01:13:34.260 And it's very obvious that he put a lot of time and effort into this.

01:13:38.500 And I think it's a shame that it doesn't have more attention because it's just not, you know, as glamorous as some of those, you know, high level documentary budget productions, which look are visually interesting, but are factually inaccurate.

01:14:01.880 And again, like so far, all the documentaries that we have seen together about the 1979 Islamic Revolution have been terrible. The highest score so far has been a three out of 10. Right. But this one for me, this is like it would be 10 out of 10. But because, you know, it's it's very, very jam packed. Nine out of 10. But I mean, it's for me, it's a 10 out of 10 at heart in terms of information provided.

01:14:31.880 with the appointment of general zahidi as the new prime minister on august 13th

01:14:39.340 Mossadegh was officially the person had to resign however he refused and launched a military coup

01:14:45.040 on august 16 marking the beginning of his three-day dictatorship a year prior on all october

01:14:51.140 23 1952 Mossadegh had dissolved the senate that was an important step because the senate was

01:14:56.900 responsible for reviewing and approving laws and on august 3rd night guys that's important so no

01:15:02.960 one ever talks about the fact that mosat literally dissolved the iranian senate right what sort of

01:15:08.920 democratically elected prime minister who wants to democratize iran will dissolve the other

01:15:15.540 institutions the other democratic institutions within the country the guy was literally trying

01:15:20.840 to turn Iran into a dictatorship under Soviet control.

01:15:26.660 In 1953, Mossadegh was given the authority to take over the judicial and executive branches,

01:15:32.680 just as today these three branches in Iran are under the direct supervision of the supreme

01:15:38.440 leader of the Islamic Republic.

01:15:40.300 Mossadegh abolished the separation and independence of the three powers, enabling the National

01:15:45.200 Front to eliminate any other alternative in Iran to its rule, except, of course, the

01:15:49.800 communist to the party. Mossadegh wanted to turn Iran into a Soviet-style republic. His goal was

01:15:55.180 to replace the parliamentary monarchy in Iran with a republic and assume its presidency. In Egypt,

01:16:00.060 for example, a republic had already been proclaimed on June 18, 1953, after King Farouk had been

01:16:06.440 deposed through a coup d'etat by his own prime minister. Fearing a similar fate for Iran, most

01:16:11.500 members of parliament turned against Mossadegh, including his closest allies. On August 13, 1953,

01:16:18.000 Mossadegh, in collaboration with General Tari Riyahi, drew up a detailed plan to overthrow

01:16:23.360 the monarchy. Instead of accepting his dismissal order, Mossadegh should first declare that the

01:16:28.000 army had revolted against him. Second, Mossadegh should order the arrest of senior officers of

01:16:33.120 the army. Third, the imperial guard should be eliminated and the Shah should be put under house

01:16:38.000 arrest. And then large demonstrations should be organized in Tehran and the speakers of the

01:16:42.480 National Front, the Pan-Iranists and the Tudor Party should inform the people about the abolition

01:16:47.520 of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic in iran at one o'clock in the morning on august

01:16:52.640 16 1953 isha's decree which had removed masadegh from the post of prime minister was delivered to

01:16:59.040 his house by colonel nasseri and mosada was notified but mosada sent nasseri to the army

01:17:05.440 headquarters where he was to be arrested mosada now a dismissed prime minister accused the army

01:17:11.440 of making a coup and thereupon ordered general riahi to arrest the accompanying officers of

01:17:16.960 colonel nasseri the shah was called a dictator and general riahi was ordered to disband the imperial

01:17:22.800 guard arresting their officers and sending them to west tehran to be dispersed among their brigades

01:17:27.920 and divisions mosaddegh also ordered the arrest and imprisonment of many high-ranking government

01:17:33.680 and military officials without a warrant and so the decree of mosaddegh's dismissal became the

01:17:39.760 basis of the leftist propaganda from that moment until today now imagine mosaddegh whose request

01:17:46.080 of emergency powers were not accepted by the parliament but was appointed prime minister

01:17:51.440 nonetheless by the shah is being portrayed as the only democratically elected prime minister

01:17:57.680 iran ever had while the shah who always adhered to the constitution is constantly called a brutal

01:18:05.040 dictator by the leftist media how crazy is that i mean it's it's always the lefties right again

01:18:12.320 And just like, look at this, look at this image, right?

01:18:15.700 So you have Mossadik, right?

01:18:17.760 So the so-called good guy Mossadik, he bankrupted the state.

01:18:23.180 He arrested political opponents.

01:18:25.560 He failed to make a good oil deal.

01:18:28.080 He dissolved the Senate, the parliament, and the courts.

01:18:31.240 And he allowed communist thugs to murder civilians.

01:18:34.580 This is a so-called good guy versus the bad guy, the Shah of Iran, the bad guy who gave charity to the poor.

01:18:41.720 He achieved a 75% profit oil deal with the Italians. He pardoned political opponents like Mossadegh and others. He always adhered to the Constitution. And he left Iran to avoid a civil war, right, temporarily.

01:18:57.700 So this is the, you know, the good guy versus the bad guy. So you can see this revisionist history in action where the Islamists and the communists are literally trying to portray the bad guy, Mossadegh, as the good guy, and the good guy, the Shah, as the bad guy. Because again, it's the Islamists and the communists who are pushing this propaganda.

01:19:24.700 Yes, Mossadeh, who established an absolute dictatorship in Iran, is advertised by the

01:19:33.360 leftist media to the entire world as a model for the struggle for democracy.

01:19:38.620 A man who built Iran's first secret police, as well as many prisons to detain his political

01:19:44.480 opponents, has been branded by the leftist media as a fighter for political freedom.

01:19:49.420 On August 16th, several army officers were arrested and a bounty of 100,000 rials was set on the head of the Shah's appointed prime minister, General Zahedi, which was a lot of money back then in Iran.

01:20:02.500 Adjusting inflation, with this sum you could have bought a 71 Mercedes in 1972.

01:20:08.140 Mossadegh's first decision as dictator of Iran was to take command of the army, something that only the Shah was authorized to do under the constitution.

01:20:16.880 again very democratic at 6 a.m on august 16 Mossadegh called the first cabinet of the so-called

01:20:24.420 Mossadegh government to a meeting at his home to decide what this government would be like

01:20:29.400 a radio statement was broadcasted at 7 a.m which stated that Mossadegh had assumed all the duties

01:20:35.480 that were designated for the Shah in the constitution and declared so based on what

01:20:42.400 authority did musad think he could like do a radio broadcast and just unilaterally declare

01:20:50.320 that all of the shah's powers now belong to him like he had no authority to do that no basis

01:20:56.400 no nothing um do you see how this guy was not actually um a democrat or anything

01:21:05.040 relating to democracy like this guy was literally a russian plant who was trying to turn iran into

01:21:11.440 an authoritarian dictatorship like imagine like imagine just waking up one day and then someone's

01:21:17.440 just like unilaterally taking control over the country it's wild it's insane but you never hear

01:21:22.720 this narrative um in in western english language documentaries about mossad that the constitution

01:21:31.840 was invalid and ordered the removal of the name shah throughout iran to legitimize his illegal

01:21:38.960 government at seven o'clock in the morning mossadegh ordered bashir farah mand the head of the general

01:21:45.280 directorate of propaganda to read the government announcement twice that the coup had taken place

01:21:50.320 by the army at one o'clock in the morning and on august 16th but that the coup was foiled at four

01:21:56.080 o'clock in the morning then mossadegh ordered the seizure of the imperial palaces and then to arrest

01:22:01.360 the shah what mossadegh however did not suspect was that the shah who was outside tehran had left

01:22:07.360 the country. The Shah, seeing Mossadegh refusing to step down and seeing him systematically arresting

01:22:12.800 political opponents, immediately realized Mossadegh was doing a coup d'etat and decided to leave Iran

01:22:18.100 in the early morning of August 16. In a statement, he declared that since he has sworn an oath to be

01:22:23.940 the guardian of the constitution and of the law, and since he has noticed Mossadegh violating the

01:22:29.100 constitution and that he wants to seize total power for himself, he decided to dismiss him.

01:22:36.120 And seeing Mossadegh disobeying his orders, he decided to leave Iran temporarily to avoid a civil war and unnecessary bloodshed.

01:22:43.780 I ask you, are these really the actions of a power-hungry dictator?

01:22:49.600 Would a tyrant voluntarily leave the country to give the people the choice to freely decide who they want to follow?

01:22:56.480 To arrest the Shah, Foreign Minister Hossein Fatemi sent a telegram to the Iranian ambassador in Baghdad.

01:23:01.900 embassy contact with those who fled the morning after the failed military coup without informing

01:23:07.060 the government is not permitted in any way. At the Mossadegh government's cabinet meeting it was

01:23:11.640 decided that on the evening of August 16th demonstrations by the Tudor party, the National

01:23:17.120 Front, the Iran party, the third force and the pan-Iranists would take place in Bahradestan

01:23:22.240 square. They would announce the establishment of the so-called new government of Mossadegh

01:23:26.580 and with it the abolition of the parliamentary monarchy.

01:23:29.600 And so, an hour after noon, the Tudor Party, the National Front and the Pan-Iranists

01:23:34.660 marched through the streets of Tehran towards Baha'u-Restan Square with red flags and hammers,

01:23:40.180 chanting communist slogans to declare the establishment of a socialist republic under Mossadegh.

01:23:45.140 The people of the capital trembled with fear and saw with their own eyes

01:23:49.920 that the Soviet Union was literally seizing power in Iran.

01:23:53.380 In the meantime, the Shah arrived in Baghdad airport and was well received by the Iraqi

01:23:57.960 authorities, acknowledging him as Iran's head of state, despite Hossein Fatemi's propaganda.

01:24:03.840 The Shah's departure, however, encouraged the communists to the party to stage demonstrations

01:24:08.620 in Tehran, chanting the slogan, the Democratic Republic shall rise.

01:24:13.380 During these pro-Mosedaq demonstrations, communist gangs along.

01:24:16.880 It's crazy to me how communists will use language to obfuscate their true intent, right? Like the communists are talking about a democratic republic. Meanwhile, what they actually mean is like a communist country that's controlled by the Soviets, right?

01:24:38.920 Like there's nothing democratic about communism, but yet that's the language and the narrative that they use. Very similar to how in 1979 they called for an Islamic republic, and yet there's nothing free or democratic about what Iran is currently, like occupied Iran right now is occupied by a brutal Islamic dictatorship, right?

01:25:03.440 But just pay attention to the language that they use because they have been trying to fool people with this rhetoric.

01:25:13.340 And unfortunately, they have fooled a lot of people with this rhetoric for a very, very long time.

01:25:19.140 With thugs and rioters dispersed in the streets of Tehran and attacked people with stones and sticks while looting shops and stores.

01:25:26.740 and so the people's fear and concerns about the Soviet-backed Tudeghi militants dominating the

01:25:32.380 affairs of the country was growing. In Baghdad, the Shah told the Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament

01:25:37.140 that he hopes to return to Iran soon and that he has appointed General Zahedi as Prime Minister

01:25:42.460 because Mossadegh was abusing his authority and that General Zahedi did not stage a coup but that

01:25:49.140 he merely informed Mossadegh of my order for his dismissal. The socialist forces of Mossadegh now

01:25:55.020 had gathered at baharistan square and as tapes of the demonstrations show fatemi declared the

01:26:00.140 abolition of the monarchy and announced the establishment of the people's democratic republic

01:26:05.020 we do not want a king all the speakers said with the utmost ruthlessness and impudence

01:26:10.700 followed by a handful of traitors and ignorant people shouting complete the task of the country

01:26:15.900 the demonstrations began with a speech by jalali musavi a former member of the parliament then

01:26:21.180 Hossein Fatemi came behind the microphone and gave a speech. As the tapes show, which were

01:26:25.820 later broadcasted in the trial of Mossadegh and General Riahi, Fatemi called the end of Iran's

01:26:31.360 constitution and its parliamentary monarchy and declared the establishment of the Democratic

01:26:35.800 Republic of Iran. And at the same time, Mossadegh's followers tore down the statue of Reza Shah in

01:26:42.640 Bahoristan Square with a crane and then dragged down the remaining statues of the Pahlavi kings

01:26:48.240 in Tehran. Do you see? So what they tried to do in the 1950s, unfortunately, they eventually ended

01:26:54.860 up becoming successful in 1979. So the 1979 Islamic Revolution, guys, it didn't happen

01:27:02.240 overnight. It was a process that took about 40 years. Now, this particular documentary

01:27:08.460 focuses mostly on the communist infiltration, which I do appreciate. But there is, of course,

01:27:15.460 an element of Islamist infiltration as well. So these communists were not acting alone.

01:27:22.820 They were also being bolstered and supported by Khomeini at the time, Khabar al-Margish,

01:27:28.340 Khaktou Sadej, and also, of course, all of the Islamists. So this is focusing mainly on the

01:27:37.060 communists, but I do appreciate that because the other documentaries don't really go as much

01:27:45.060 in depth into the Russian and Soviet influence and propaganda in Iran. But this does. And I do

01:27:55.760 appreciate that. And for people in the chat, yes, the Islamic revolution of 1979 took almost 40

01:28:02.800 years. The first attempt was in 1941. It was not successful. And so they kept on trying again and

01:28:11.060 again. You can actually find where I talk about that in a similar documentary that we critique.

01:28:22.200 It's the one in this very playlist. So this is part of a playlist called, you know, Iranians

01:28:28.580 rating documentaries about Iran. Go and find the documentary, which is about the 1979 Islamic

01:28:37.360 Revolution, and I give it a rating of 3 out of 10. That's the one where they go in-depth into

01:28:44.420 how the Islamic coup d'etat of 1979 took almost 40 years. So one of the reasons that we Iranians

01:28:52.200 are speaking out a lot about what we're seeing in the West is because, again, Iran didn't become

01:28:58.620 a country governed by Sharia law overnight. It took 40 years, and it was just this slow

01:29:04.940 creep of Islam and communism that eventually took over and got to the point where it became

01:29:13.380 so influential that by the time the rest of Iranians woke up, it was too late and Islam

01:29:20.720 took over and Sharia law took over.

01:29:23.640 Mossadegh personally ordered his followers to tear down the statues.

01:29:27.340 This was Mossadegh's message to the Iranian nation that there was no place for a Shah

01:29:32.920 in his so-called Mossadegh government.

01:29:35.280 You must realize that most things that happened on the orders of Mossadegh

01:29:39.360 in this three-day period from August 16 to August 19

01:29:43.140 were not spontaneous decisions,

01:29:45.780 but they were rather based on a detailed plan

01:29:48.420 as Mossadegh and his accomplices confessed later in Kurd.

01:29:52.780 Abdul Qasem Amini, the guardsman of the royal Kurd,

01:29:56.000 was Mossadegh's cousin and simultaneously his spy,

01:29:59.000 and he had informed Mosaddegh in advance of the Shah's decision to dismiss him,

01:30:04.420 therefore not making Mosaddegh's violent seizure of power a mere reaction towards some attempted coup by the imperial guard,

01:30:11.660 but a carefully planned betrayal.

01:30:14.040 To US Ambassador Henderson, Mosaddegh even told that while he doubted the authenticity of the royal decree dismissing him,

01:30:21.160 it would not have mattered to him anyway, since he did not care about the Shah's opinion,

01:30:26.840 which implies that Mossadegh was going to make a coup regardless of his legal dismissal.

01:30:32.640 Mossadegh, however, had misjudged the situation.

01:30:35.780 The people were not at all enthusiastic about the parade.

01:30:39.320 They did not cheer the Marxist socialist takeover, but were horrified.

01:30:43.800 When they saw Mossadegh's communist supporters...

01:30:45.840 Right, so the vast majority of Iranians at the time,

01:30:50.200 um the vast majority of iranians were horrified that these communists were trying to um take

01:30:58.980 control of iran and so in in the 1950s and 1953 they spoke out pay attention to this part guys

01:31:06.660 down the statues of their king and defacing the statues of the father of the iranian nation

01:31:12.040 they knew full well what mosaddegh was intended to achieve and so on august 19th 1953 at 6 a.m

01:31:20.180 people took to the streets and the uprising of the Iranians against

01:31:25.280 Mossadegh's government began. It is ironic that the very idea to establish a

01:31:33.300 Republic in Iran was first considered by then Prime Minister and later King

01:31:38.420 Reza Pahlavi but the Parliament and the Iranian people opposed this idea arguing

01:31:43.340 that Iran needs a Shah and that this is the culture and tradition of Iran and

01:31:48.080 And this attitude did not change with Mossadegh, the Iranians loving their king, opposed Mossadegh

01:31:56.240 and when Mossadegh called the army to restore order, the army instead ousted him. Mossadegh

01:32:02.160 supporters often claimed that thousands of Iranians were bribed by foreigners to

01:32:07.120 demonstrate against Mossadegh. But when we look at eyewitness accounts, we quickly find out the

01:32:13.200 opposite. Sha'ban Ja'fari, often known as Sha'ban the Brainless, was an infamous street

01:32:19.840 thug in Tehran. During the national uprising against Masadaq, he was often regarded as a

01:32:24.880 leader of street fights for Disha. In an interview, he stated that he did not receive any bribes,

01:32:31.040 but that he had revolted against Masadaq because he loved Disha, as we can see in this interview.

01:32:43.200 So these are the interviews, guys, that you don't see.

01:32:57.640 So this guy is literally saying in Persian, he's saying,

01:33:00.440 Mossadegh wanted to drive the Shah out of the country.

01:33:03.800 We weren't paid to support the Shah.

01:33:05.480 We supported the Shah because we loved the Shah.

01:33:07.280 Pay attention to this.

01:33:13.200 see do you see that so he's saying we loved the shah we love the shah no one paid us

01:33:22.380 we didn't want communism we wanted the shah that's why we came out to the streets

01:33:26.520 um oh my what countries do you see are becoming islamic now gee i don't know i mean look at the

01:33:34.400 uk look at canada look at the united states i mean all these countries um have a serious like

01:33:42.300 Islamic jihadi problem where you have all these Islamic radicals coming into these countries

01:33:48.680 and are slowly infiltrating the government. So yeah, there's like a huge Islamist problem

01:33:56.000 in Western countries and it's being bolstered and supported by communists, right? Because

01:34:02.620 that's exactly what happened in Iran. The communists supported the Islamists and eventually

01:34:09.460 they uh overthrew the shah of iran because they were all you know so-called anti-imperialist

01:34:14.660 whatever vs nonsense and then as soon as that happened um the islamists took over and then

01:34:20.900 they executed all of the woke progressive lefty communist socialist whatever um but i see a lot

01:34:27.660 of countries um becoming islamic in the next 20 to 30 years canada uk um america i mean it's it's

01:34:37.460 all there. And actually, if you subscribe to my channel, I do my usual live streams at 12 noon.

01:34:46.960 And today, during my, you know, Goldie Show podcast, I spoke about how Canada is becoming

01:34:56.540 incredibly radicalized. And tomorrow, I'm actually going to speak about how the United States is

01:35:02.340 becoming incredibly radicalized. So you want to make sure to tune in to my live streams at 12

01:35:07.780 noon Eastern. I go live Monday to Friday at 12 noon. And I speak about all of this as well.

01:35:16.500 And so from six o'clock in the morning of August 19th, groups of people took to the streets and

01:35:22.400 the uprising of the people in the capital against the Mossadag government began. All

01:35:27.300 strata of the population participated in the uprising workers artisans peasants students

01:35:33.380 but also soldiers and policemen the imperial guard and women in a fever of patriotism people

01:35:39.940 occupied the radio station and then took strategically important centers and government

01:35:45.140 offices one government institution after another was taken over by the people and when the radio

01:35:51.780 office was occupied by the people the victory of the people was announced by playing the royal

01:35:56.340 anthem and the voices of mirash rafi and peraste the people's representatives in the parliament

01:36:02.100 were heard on the radio the message was clear the representatives of the iranian people were behind

01:36:08.580 the shah and the legal prime minister zahidi mosaddegh's interior minister dr sadiri went to

01:36:15.060 mosaddegh's house on wednesday morning august 19th at about 7 a.m mosaddegh told sadiri that since

01:36:21.300 the Shah had left the country, a royal council should be formed through a plebiscite. Sideri

01:36:27.700 relate this to the ministers who informed him that people in Separske were shouting slogans

01:36:34.500 such as Long Live the Shah, Death to the Tudor Party and Save the Monarchy, demanding the Shah to

01:36:41.780 return. General Riyahi told Sideri by telephone that Mossadegh had expressed a desire to hand over

01:36:47.780 the post of police chief and military governor to his nephew and son-in-law general muhammad

01:36:53.140 daftari for fear that the police forces would join the people sadly wow so did you catch that

01:37:00.340 so musad literally wanted to give control of the police force to his nephew to prevent the police

01:37:07.060 from joining the people so again um as you can tell it was musad who was the dictator not the

01:37:15.300 Shah. But again, this is the real narrative and the real history that you're not going to find

01:37:21.780 in mainstream media and mainstream documentaries about Iran and Mossadegh.

01:37:28.260 He was again informed that hundreds of people were demonstrating against Mossadegh

01:37:32.860 and his government in several places in the city with the participation of officers and soldiers.

01:37:40.140 The entire nation had revolted against Mossadegh and they were shouting,

01:37:43.520 long live the Shah. When asked by the Minister of Interior why they did not

01:37:48.260 stop them at demonstrators, Sadiri replied that the authorities could no

01:37:52.620 longer trust their own soldiers. The mayor of Tehran Dr. Sayyid Mohsen Nasr

01:37:57.920 told the Minister of Interior that the people had attacked the city

01:38:02.660 administration and that the soldiers were doing nothing. Some people

01:38:06.860 also attacked the prisons built on Mossadegh's orders. Several were killed

01:38:10.520 but the innocent people who had been imprisoned by Mossadegh were freed.

01:38:14.520 Ironically, the house of the popularly loved Mossadegh,

01:38:17.980 which was also the seat of his government,

01:38:20.380 was a military fortress constantly guarded by tanks.

01:38:24.000 During the uprising, his house was continuously attacked by the people,

01:38:28.220 even though Mossadegh's guards shot at demonstrators without hesitation,

01:38:32.120 killing several civilians.

01:38:34.800 Not so much loved by the people, I guess.

01:38:37.600 When Saderi arrived at Mossadegh's house around 3 p.m., he found other members of the Mossadegh government.

01:38:43.540 Foreign Minister Fatemi was also there, who said that the most important thing was to maintain the radio station.

01:38:49.920 However, Saderi countered that this was not easy, because the army and police had joined the people.

01:38:56.880 Mossadegh was very upset when he heard that the people had taken control of the radio station and that the imperial anthem was played on radio.

01:39:04.240 So the people do not appreciate your attempt to turn Iran into a proletariat dictatorship?

01:39:09.120 Oh gee, what a shame.

01:39:10.720 Then General Riyahi informed everyone in Mossadegh's house

01:39:13.840 that the people have taken the main places of this city and occupied the radio center.

01:39:18.940 It is good that you give the order to put down the resistance.

01:39:21.840 Colonel Ezatullah Mumtaz, the commander of the mountain brigades

01:39:25.300 in charge of guarding and defending Mossadegh's house,

01:39:28.040 entered and told Mossadegh that the opposition was growing stronger and that they would win.

01:39:32.380 At 6.40 p.m., Colonel Mumtaz came in again and said the two Sherman tanks, which are stronger than our tanks in front of the police station on Pahlavi Street, have been ceased by the opposition.

01:39:54.760 Continuous gunfire had now been heard for an hour between the Mossadegh troops and the opposition forces.

01:40:00.040 After a few minutes, Brigadier General Fulat Van came in and said,

01:40:04.520 In the present situation, continuing the shelling of the opposition forces is futile

01:40:08.220 and causes many civilian casualties and is therefore dangerous to your lives, gentlemen.

01:40:12.640 Give the order to surrender.

01:40:14.080 Mossadegh replies, no, I will stay here no matter what.

01:40:17.900 Fulat Van then said, what have I done?

01:40:20.040 I wish I had not accepted this role and again demanded Mossadegh to surrender.

01:40:24.820 So for the non-Iranians, the song right now that's being played in the background,

01:40:30.040 It's like an incredibly patriotic song that resonates with all Iranians, right?

01:40:38.400 It's just like one of those, I don't know how to describe it.

01:40:42.360 It's just very, very patriotic.

01:40:45.360 Eventually, even Mossadegh's closest allies turned their backs on him.

01:40:49.680 And Razavi, Shaghan, and Zirkzadeh issued a statement saying,

01:40:54.540 Dr. Mossadegh considers himself the rightful prime minister even though the forces of law

01:40:59.820 and order disobey him and refuse to continue defending his house. But the shooting continued

01:41:04.660 anyway and Mossadegh's guards killed 41 people and wounded 75 others. Who is the bloodthirsty

01:41:12.160 dictator now? The Shah who leaves the country to avoid a civil war or Mossadegh who shoots at his

01:41:17.660 own people to secure his power again so all the um you know the accusations that the islamists

01:41:26.940 and the jihadis have made about the shah um they're all false but every single accusation

01:41:32.860 is an admission of guilt so literally it was musad who ordered um his supporters to shoot at

01:41:40.300 Iranians who did not want Iran to become a Russian proxy, right? So Mossadegh was the

01:41:49.960 authoritarian dictator. Mossadegh was the brutal, savage communist who was literally willing to

01:41:58.760 murder Iranians in order to hand over Iran to the Soviets at the time, right?

01:42:04.740 The uprising of the people of Tehran, other residents joined the uprising and Saudi residents

01:42:10.180 of the cities of Rasht, Esfahan, Kermanshah, Shiraz, Ahwaz also declared their loyalty to the

01:42:17.420 monarchy and their willingness to martyrdom. After 12 hours of bloody clashes between the

01:42:22.320 people in Tehran and the Mossadegh government, all ministries and government offices, military

01:42:28.300 centers and barracks finally fell into the hands of the people and Mossadegh's home was finally

01:42:33.160 stormed. Mossadegh, who had not accepted the people's resistance, jumped from the wall of

01:42:39.020 his house. It's really interesting how Mossadegh claimed he was for the people. And yet when the

01:42:45.460 people of Iran said, we don't want you and we don't want communism, Mossadegh tried to shoot

01:42:50.020 them, right? So much for a democratically elected prime minister, right? Like the guy was literally

01:42:55.360 a Russian puppet who wanted to become a dictator.

01:43:01.780 To our neighbor's house and fled, but was arrested and imprisoned after spending several

01:43:06.800 days in hiding very fit for a person who seems to be sick and keeps fainting in front of the camera

01:43:12.640 isn't it

01:43:17.040 Ew, this is his voice.

01:43:30.040 Why did, guys, why does he sound exactly like an akhund?

01:43:34.060 Like, sida sh daeaghan sida ya akhund.

01:43:36.800 Like, miso molla ha daara haf mi zan.

01:43:38.740 Like, sida sh be man chendish mi dae.

01:43:42.240 Sorry, I have to say that in varsity.

01:43:43.560 like he guys he said he he sounds like exactly how like the ayatollahs speak today like his

01:43:49.240 voice just makes me like look like he he sounds like an ayatollah but they're all the same right

01:44:13.560 So they're literally saying that Mosaddegh pretended to faint in

01:44:43.540 parliament in order to avoid an argument and avoid answering for what he was doing in terms

01:44:51.280 of trying to turn Iran into a dictatorship controlled by the Soviets.

01:44:56.600 Like that's wild.

01:45:13.540 Yes, the national resistance against Mossadegh was a popular uprising and the CIA was not aware that something like that was taking place. However...

01:45:43.540 The CIA agent Kermit Roosevelt also played a role in this popular uprising but was in

01:45:51.460 fact disobeying orders as he was instructed to leave Iran after the failed coup attempt

01:45:57.460 on August 16th and thus was acting on his own initiative.

01:46:02.360 Having said that, Roosevelt merely played a minor role giving some help to organize the

01:46:07.360 army.

01:46:08.360 Roosevelt had absolutely no support from the US government and was disregarding the chain

01:46:12.600 of command. He would have been probably executed by the US government for treason if the attempt

01:46:18.720 had failed. To popular cheers, the Shah returned from his Iraqi exile and ordered the convening

01:46:28.600 of a Khurd to try Mossadegh for treason. The prosecutor requested the execution of Mossadegh

01:46:34.620 for treason and undermining the constitution. Mossadegh was charged by the military prosecution

01:46:39.900 to overthrow the imperial constitutional government with the following charges although

01:46:46.220 so keep in mind mosa dick was in charge with overthrowing the shah he was charged with

01:46:52.140 overthrowing the constitution and the parliament right again the democratically elected parliament

01:47:00.300 mosa dick wanted to turn iran from a constitutional monarchy into an authoritarian

01:47:07.900 dictatorship controlled by the soviets so that's what he was charged with again the communists and

01:47:15.420 the islamists and the you know the armchair experts on iran don't actually look into the

01:47:20.940 facts and so they just you know promote that jihadi communist propaganda guilty in all 13 cases

01:47:30.860 he was sentenced to only three years of house arrest and this was because the shah had told

01:47:36.620 occurred that Mossadegh should not be charged for his offenses against him in person. Evil Shah my

01:47:43.640 ass. This is now the second time that the Shah has saved the life of Mossadegh who had been accused

01:47:49.460 of treason yet again. So again everyone who claims the Shah was this brutal authoritarian dictator

01:47:57.180 literally has no idea what they're talking about or they are purposely lying because they're just

01:48:02.860 anti-constitutional monarchy. So this was the second time that Mossadegh had tried to

01:48:10.060 assassinate the Shah. The first time, again, was in 1941, like the documentary said at the

01:48:15.560 beginning. The first time, the Shah forgave him. And now again, the Shah once again forgave Mossadegh,

01:48:23.360 right? So who's the dictator here? Who's the authoritarian here? It's not the Shah,

01:48:29.040 It's Mossad. So the 1953, you know, coup is the most misunderstood era of Iranian political history. And unfortunately, it's one of the most factually incorrect narratives that is being pushed by the communists and the Islamists just because they want to attack the Shah of Iran for no other reason.

01:48:59.040 To sum it up, on the one hand we had the supporters of Mossadegh who wanted to overthrow the monarchy

01:49:06.080 and establish a socialist republic.

01:49:08.200 And on the other hand we had the Iranian people standing behind the Shah's constitutionally

01:49:12.300 appointed Prime Minister Zahedi who wanted to preserve their parliamentary monarchy.

01:49:17.760 And therefore the people overthrew Mossadegh's government.

01:49:20.880 As simple as that.

01:49:23.300 No massive CIA involvement, no crew.

01:49:26.200 So anyone, including almost all scientists in this field, who claim that the removal

01:49:31.820 of Mossadegh was the result of Operation TP Ajax, must know that their claim is unequivocally

01:49:39.280 unsubstantiated.

01:49:40.980 I hereby take my leave.

01:49:43.020 This was the Persian history.

01:49:45.220 I hope you enjoyed it.

01:49:46.480 If yes, share this video and leave a like.

01:49:48.760 Thanks for watching.

01:49:49.760 Until next time.

01:49:51.100 And finally, I want to end this video with a speech of thanks from the Shah addressed

01:49:55.680 to the Iranian people.

01:50:25.680 Reader

01:50:55.680 Thank you.

01:51:25.680 Wow. So first of all, Jane, thank you so much for the support. Appreciate that.

01:51:35.160 Guys, this documentary was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's obvious that this is a low

01:51:46.800 production, low budget documentary, but the person who made this documentary, they did it out of

01:51:53.540 um, their love and, uh, you know, desire for people to know the truth about Iranian history,

01:52:01.620 um, from their accent when they were, uh, pronouncing Iranian words, I can tell that

01:52:09.560 this person is Iranian 100%. Um, so despite the, the low production quality, um, I would give this

01:52:19.540 documentary a 10 out of 10. It accurately reflects the truth about Mossad versus the Shah.

01:52:27.560 It accurately calls out the fake news and propaganda that's being promoted by the Islamists

01:52:38.060 and the jihadis when it comes to the truth. So I would give this documentary a recommendation of

01:52:49.120 10 out of 10. For the Iranians in the chat, I would love to know what you think. But

01:52:55.360 you know, I think this documentary goes a long way to counter the propaganda

01:53:02.880 and disinformation about what happened in 1953. So yeah, I'm seeing a lot of 10 out of 10s.

01:53:14.760 you know, Amir, 10 out of 10. Major is saying 10 out of 10. Yeah, like I think this one's a 10

01:53:24.320 out of 10. Like it's Omid. Omid says solid 10. I think this is very high level detail by the

01:53:31.760 narrator. You don't think he sounded Persian? I don't know, Omid. I mean, I think he sounded

01:53:36.140 Persian, but I don't know. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that. But at least,

01:53:39.900 you know, on the rating, um, we're giving it a 10 out of 10. Um, yeah, like it's, it's, uh,

01:53:46.540 it's incredibly factual. Um, again, it's not glamorous, but, but it's all out there. And I

01:53:53.600 actually, guys, um, oh, I see some people from X are saying 10 out of 10 as well. Uh, Gandalf,

01:54:01.840 10 out of 10. All right. Jay, Jay, 10 out of 10. All right. So both Iranians and non-Iranians

01:54:09.260 are giving this, um, a 10 out of 10. Yeah, guys, I think, I think, you know, we found our 10 out of

01:54:14.700 10. It's not necessarily about, um, the Islamic revolution, but it is an important precursor to

01:54:22.160 that because it does counter a lot of the, a lot of the disinformation. So, um, I want to thank you

01:54:29.400 all for, for joining me for this watch party tonight. I hope you enjoyed this stream. I will
