TEHRAN (Defapress) - The coup of 1953 was the dagger of the enemies that split the back of the Iranian nation. The US and UK carried out the coup under the name of Operation Ajax and Operation Boot.

The consequences of the nationalization of the oil industry for foreigners and the depriving of the British colonial company of Iran's oil income were what required the removal of Mosaddegh's government and the Shah's complete control of the country again, but with the will which was formed by Vinson Churchill and Eisenhower from outside of Iran.

The coup of 1953 was planned by the CIA on the orders of Eisenhower and by the CIA and was carried out with the cooperation of MI6, the Imperial Army, pressure groups of influential figures who benefited from the crown and Western countries, and of course, the most rebellious villains of Tehran who were recruited by the CIA; just to overthrow the government that was chosen by the people of Iran and prevented the looting of the country's oil resources and income by UK colonialism, which had not reached anywhere in the Hague court, imposed the first sanctions in history on Iran's oil industry.

The embargo, which had reduced Iran's oil sales to zero for two years, but Mosaddegh's insistence on the support of the Iranian people to not fall short in the face of Western excesses, ended the patience of America and England, and the project of removing the prime minister was started.

At midnight on August 19, 1953, BBC radio announced the start of the operation under the code name "It is now exactly midnight". A coup ended with the death of around 300 Iranian citizens and Mosaddegh's government was overthrown by a dagger that was sharpened by Iran's enemies and some domestic agents as traitors.
