The Rule of Mossadegh
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
Mohammad’s name in Latin letters. The main board of contention in a plethora of books and
journal articles recently published is whether Mossadegh d'état led to the Islamic insurgency

and DarioushBayandor describe the history of Mohammad Mossadegh in their writings. The
conclusion of this paper will detail my points of views.

record of "Operation Ajax."2 He likewise makes a decent showing of putting...
