From an aristocratic background, Mossadegh was a nationalist and passionately opposed foreign intervention in Iran. An author, administrator, lawyer, prominent parliamentarian, and statesman, he is most famous as the architect of the nationalization of the Iranian oil industry, which had been under British control through the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), today known as British Petroleum (BP). Mossadegh was removed from power on August 19, 1953, in a coup d'茅tat, supported and funded by the British and U.S. governments and led by General Fazlollah Zahedi. The American operation came to be known as Operation Ajax in America,after its CIA cryptonym, and as the "28 Mordad 1332" coup in Iran, after its date on the Iranian calendar.Dr. Mosaddeq was imprisoned for three years and subsequently put under house arrest until his death. In Iran and many countries, Mosaddeq is known as a hero of Third World anti-imperialism and victim of imperialist greed.However a number of scholars and historians believe that alongside the plotting of the UK and US, a major factor in his overthrow was Mossadeq's loss of support among Shia clerics and the traditional middle class, brought on by his increasingly radical and secular policies and by their fear of a communist takeover 鬲賳賴丕賳賵卮鬲賴賴丕蹖蹖丿乇丕蹖賳诏乇賵賴賯丕亘賱丕賳鬲卮丕乇賲蹖亘丕卮賳丿讴賴丨丕賵蹖鬲賵賴蹖賳亘賴丕爻賱丕賲賵丕丿蹖丕賳丿蹖诏乇貙乇噩丕賱爻蹖丕爻蹖賵賲匕賴亘蹖貙丕賯賵丕賲賳亘丕卮賳丿.丕蹖賳诏乇賵賴貙蹖讴诏乇賵賴爻蹖丕爻蹖賳蹖爻鬲賵賲讴丕賳丕賳鬲卮丕乇賳馗乇丕鬲賵亘蹖丕賳蹖賴賴丕蹖丨夭亘蹖賵卮毓丕乇賳蹖爻鬲 ...more
