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 Tehran University professors, made a strange comparison between the current government and Mossadegh’s government regarding the recent events in the country.
We have memories of an event during 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. Look at 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 28 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. When the British and Americans wanted to turn the people against Mossadegh, they said, ‘We will sanction the Iranian nation so much that they will suffer from hunger, and those people who supported the movement will come to stand against it.’ And they did.
