On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of one of the most tragic days in modern Iranian history, the 28th of Mordād 1332 (1953), when the CIA orchestrated a coup in ousting democratically elected Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mosadeq, who had successfully led the movement for the nationalization of the Iranian oil industry hitherto subject to sheer exploitation at the hands of the zionist-funded British empire, and initiating twenty five years of dictatorship by the pro-western regime of Mohammad Rezā shāh Pahlavi, reformists and moderates exposed the ugly essence of their politics once again by embarking on a massive propaganda campaign that was enthusiastically relayed by the western-controlled internet as well as by local liberal media, to whitewash unparallaled American and British crimes against the Iranian nation, to defame Mosadeq and to rewrite history to this effect.
While Mosadeq isn't beyond criticism, nationalizing the oil industry and thereby ending decades of economic imperial yoke doubtlessly constituted one of the grandest acts accomplished in centuries.
In a video discussion published online, leading liberal academic Ghaninejad proceeded for instance to basically rehashing the CIA-sponsored bogus narrative spread back in the day by mass media in the western and western-dominated part of the world in order to try and legitimize the coup. Namely, fabricated notions such as that:
- Mordād 28 was "not" a military coup, Operation Ajax was not decisive. The Iranian people "rose up" to overthrow Mosadeq and have the shah return to power.
- Mosadeq was a "populist" who caused huge "damage" to democracy in Iran.
- Iran had "no right" to nationalize her oil industry, Mosadeq's camp committed a heavy mistake by doing so. The oil industry was not Iran's natural property but that of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and Iran was not entitled to act even though the devaluation of the Pound Sterling after World War 2 was such that it reduced Iran's already intolerable share of only 16% to more than negligible amounts, and even though the British regime consistently refused to revise the terms of the concession treaty in a fair manner.
- The nationalization violated "free market principles" and caused "undue" state intervention in the economy.
Mind you, this is the same British regime which at the end of World War 1 was responsible for the crime of genocide against Iranians, some 10 to 11 million of whom (about half the entire population) were exterminated through a massive provoked famine.
Claims like the above listed ones offer a perfect illustration as to the actual mindset and the effective goals of the reformist / moderate faction in Iran. Beyond the disgusting inversion of facts and values, it raises the question, what are these agents of hostile foreign powers doing in an anti-imperialist political system like the Islamic Republic, which restored Iran's national sovereignty, independence and self-determination and has been standing up to zio-American imperial oppressors for over four decades?
By continuing to tolerate these forces and even allowing them to exert control over multiple levers of power within the system, Iran is practically shooting herself in the foot. Some patriotic-minded but gullible Iranians appear to be blind to the liberal agenda, or pretend blindness; they ought to stop welcoming these elements like they sometimes seem to do. Else they will only contribute to introducing additional obstacles and risk factors on Iran's road.
