	Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh Biography :: Mohammad Mossadegh.com
		Mossadegh began on this path at the unusually young age of 14 as the appointed Mostofi (Chief of Finance) of Khorasan Province.
		By age 21, Mossadegh was elected to the Majlis (Iranian Parliament) as a representative of Isfahan but was not permitted to serve because of his age.
		During the constitutional movement in Iran (1905-1911), Mossadegh was a supporter of the constitutionalists and opposed despotic monarchy rule of the Qajar dynasty.

	Mossadegh - A New Rock Opera
		But as internal support for Mossadegh's positions wilted under the economic effects of the blocade, he was forced to turn to the fringes of his National Front for support, thus making compromise impossible.
		However, news of the plot reached Mossadegh and with phone lines mysteriously continuing to work, loyal troops were mustered to quell the revolt.
		Mossadegh assumed his forces had thwarted the coup and, ironically, achieved his ultimate goal of removing the Shah.

	TIME Person of the Year: Story Archive Since 1927, Mohammed Mossadegh
		Mossadegh, by Western standards an appalling caricature of a statesman, was a fair sample of what the West would have to work with in the Middle East.
		Mossadegh's nationalization bill scared the company into concessions that were made too late.
		The fact that Iranians accept Mossadegh's suicidal policy is a measure of the hatred of the West—and especially the hatred of Britain—in the Near and Middle East.

	Iran 1953 KH
		In March 1951, the bill for nationalization was passed, and at the end of April Mossadegh was elected prime minister by a large majority of Parliament.
		The apocalyptic anti-communist saw in Mossadegh the epitome of all that he detested in the Third World: unequivocal neutralism in the cold war, tolerance of Communists, and disrespect for free enterprise, as demonstrated by the oil nationalization.
		Mossadegh was pressing for control of the armed forces and more say over expenditures of the royal court, and the inexperienced and indecisive Shah-the "King of Kings"-was reluctant to openly oppose the prime minister because of the latter's popularity.

	Mossadegh's Error
		Mossadegh knew such a move would mean that he would become the ally of Iranian leftists and the Soviet Union, as they were the only ones asking for a republic for decades (except for a short episode of Reza Khan's republicanism, which again had the left's support).
		If Mossadegh had lived to see Ayatollah Khomeini, decades later, to go for a republic, to win an Islamic movement, he would be amazed, to see the irony that he had feared the clergy's strong opposition to a republic, thus avoiding to push for a republic.
		Mossadegh could not see that a demand for a secular republic could be a genuine liberal demand and not just an imperialist ploy or a communist tactical demand.

	Mohammed Mossadegh hero file
		Mossadegh is named 'Time' magazine's man of the year for 1951, "not that he was the best or the worst or the strongest, but because his rapid advance from obscurity was attended by the greatest stir."
		Mossadegh appoints himself as minister for defence and begins to introduce changes in the military high command, dismissing officers loyal to the shah and replacing them with nationalists.

		Mossadegh was in his teens when he assumed the administrative position of his deceased father, as was the custom at the time.
		Mossadegh continued to oppose the new regime, but with the consolidation of the Pahlavi autocracy he was excluded from political life, and from 1936 onward was forced to live as a recluse in his country home in Ahmadabad, north of the capital.
		Mossadegh's premiership constituted not only a challenge to Britain's entrenched position in Iran but also involved forcing the shah to comply with the constitutional principle that the monarch should reign and not rule.

	Dr. Mossadegh, the Shah and the National Iranian Oil Company

		It was in this period, from 1941 to 1943, that Mossadegh arose as the leader and spokesman for the secular nationalist faction of the Majles that was to become the National Front.
		Mossadegh and the National Front led the opposition to the oil agreement, and the Majles elections of 1950, in which the National Front candidates gained a large number of new seats, reflected the growing popular support for the anti-British, nationalist position long held by Mossadegh.
		A number of social, economic, and political reforms that Mossadegh wished to implement alienated one group or another, and a growing sense of impatience and then alarm was expressed by some over Mossadegh's attempts at gaining control of the army, something he felt he had to have to ensure the stability of his government.

	THE IRANIAN: Nah az bi naani, Hassan Karimi
		Mossadegh's determination in the pursuit of the nationalization law, which was the overwhelming demand of the Iranian public, triggered an unreasonably strong reaction and threat of force from the British government.
		Indeed, Mossadegh is as example of an unfortunate case of a democratic man who was relentlessly demonized by the British and Western media and their governments up until the military coup, which was jointly organized by the CIA and the British Secret Service and which led to his downfall on August 19, 1953.
		A few days later, Mossadegh turned himself in to the military regime and was later tried in an unjust military court, in which he, in a moral victory, prosecuted and convicted both the domestic agents of the coup and their foreign backers and defended the right of Iranians to full sovereignty.

	THE IRANIAN: Mossadegh saved the Shah, Fereydoun Hoveyda
		Even though he was much older, Mossadegh would kiss the Shah's hand because he considered the monarch the "father" of the nation and himself a respectful "son".
		In fact Mossadegh's insistence on the implementation of the 1906 constitution, which limited the monarch's powers, was not aimed at undermining the Shah's position.
		Moreover, Mossadegh was aware of the danger represented by the Tudeh communist party and its ties to Moscow.

		Mossadegh was also a member of the National Soldiers, an armed group prepared to physically defend the Majles, the seat of the Constitution.

		Mossadegh saw government in a way that I cannot; to Mossadegh government was an acceptable tool to be wheeled for the good of the masses.

		Mossadegh's eventual success in nationalizing Iranian oil as Prime Minister, and his subsequent success in preventing the UN Security Council from passing a resolution that condemned the nationalization, convinced the British that they needed to get rid of him.
		Instead of embarking on wholesale nationalization, Mossadegh should have recognized that the sun was setting on the British Empire in the post-World War II era, and that the Americans were one of the two dominant powers in the world.
		However, they were severely curtailed in their efforts to reintroduce Mossadegh's brand of nationalism to Iran in the revolutionary stages, and they were utterly defeated in the composition of a post-royalist government with the advent of a theocracy.
