Haddad Adel likened the current Iranian government to Mossadegh’s national government
Gholam-Ali Haddad Adel, a member of the Expediency Discernment Council, in a meeting with professors from the University of Tehran, made a strange comparison between the current government and Mossadegh’s government while discussing the recent events in the country.
We have memories of an event in our time, which is the 28th of Mordad. At that time, a government in Iran, which was a national government, came to power and wanted to nationalize Iran’s oil. See what they did to Dr. Mossadegh’s government, what calamities they brought upon him. Today, the documents have been published. One of the newest books on this subject is by Ervand Abrahamian, titled ‘The Coup of 28th Mordad’. Read it to see what the British and Americans did in this country to overthrow Mossadegh’s government.
One of the things they are doing with the Islamic Revolution in the current government, which they also did at that time, is sanctions. The British and Americans, when they wanted to turn the people against Mossadegh, said they would sanction the Iranian nation until they were so hungry that the people who supported the movement would stand against it, and they did.
