@
FaujHistorian , you are so wrong buddy. I am very short in time these days, but as dear @
Serpentine mentioned me, I will explain you some general facts here. Unfortunately, as @
Serpentine said, your information about Iran is limited and many times they are wrong, such as our previous discussion about Safavids.

Mosaddegh was the leader of National Front of Iran, which it has been the biggest alliance of Iranian liberals so far. So, saying that Mosaddegh was socialist or commi is exactly like saying that jesus was a satanist!
BTW, there was numerous different parties in the National Front, including Pan-Iranists, ultra liberals, moderate liberals, and one social democrat party. Actually, Tudeh party, which was the representative of Leftists, including communists, and socialists was heavily against the National Front and Dr. Mosaddegh. Royalists, and religious backwards, like Navab Safavi, were also against him, specially after, 30 Tir 1331.
president Truman was actually in favor of Dr. Mosaddegh, since he was an open-minded person and as an educated person, including the history of USA and the world, and the efforts against colonizer powers, he was feeling sympathy with anti-colonizer movements, and Nationalizing oil industry of Iran as an example of it. what you don't know is about the oil income sharing laws between those companies and the owners, in which they were barely receiving even 10% of the income. BTW, the oil was not the only important factor, and kicking Britains completely out of Iran was even the main motive. Gaining your freedom is even much more important than having a slightly better economic conditions if you ask me or Iranian liberals such as Dr. Mosaddegh. Although, the economic boom of Iran started after these years, and gaining much more oil income by nationalizing oil industry.
BTW, when the president changed in USA, Dulles brothers, in which they had personal business with Anglo-Persian oil company, got elected as the head of CIA, and secretary of state. No wonder that they made Eisenhower believe that Mosaddegh has given communists too much freedom in which makes them able to capture Iran. Royalists also started rumors about Mosaddegh in the world and Iran that his policy is socialism which was a ridiculous claim, to attract US attention. But, all of these were only pure non-sense lie.
