Introduction and Thesis Statement
The yearly anniversary of the coup that overthrew Mohammad Mossadegh has attracted
public discussions across the world including the United States of America. But while journalists
and historians view the 19 August 1953 Coup as a pivotal episode for Iran, they have different
versions and opinions about Mohammad Mossadegh life including the translation of
