• Resumen

  • The author responds to the July/August 2014 article entitled �What Really Happened in Iran,� by Ray Takeyh. He discusses the August 1953 coup in Iran which overthrew the elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq and installed Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as Shah, accusing Takeyh of being guilty of reporting errors and ignoring available historical source materials in his account. Topics include Mosaddeq's nationalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, Great Britain's response to the loss of a British company by such actions, and the role of the British and American secret services in the coup,
