The Untold Story of the CIA Coup in Iran

by Shahram
What lessons have we learned fifty years after the U.S.-British sponsored coup that toppled the popular government of Dr. Mossadegh in Iran?


This event provides for an in-depth review of the historical context of the 1953 coup, the U.S. and the British foreign policy motives and interests in covert intervention in Iran. The speakers will assess the impact of the coup on the political and economic development in Iran and the Middle East, and its relevance to today’s U.S. foreign policy calling for more regime changes in the region.
