A Biography: Dr. Mossadegh. From this biography.......
In the 15th Majlis elections, because of the election rigging, Mossadegh did not get the chance to enter the Parliament.......
Despite all the interference and frauds of the Shah during the 16th Majlis elections, the fake ballot boxes were announced expired, and the Royal Court minister was assassinated. In the second round of the elections, Mossadegh and a group of his companions were elected. It was this Parliament that approved the nationalization of the Iranian oil industry. A while later, the Majlis elected Mossadegh as the new Prime Minister.
When Mossadegh became Premier in 1951 <but not democratically elected>, the first thing he did after introducing his cabinet, was the enforcement of the Oil Nationalization Bill.
In 1953......
Disputes between the Parliament and the cabinet increased, and following the Majlis member's abstractions Mossadegh declared a national referendum to let the people choose between dissolving of the Parliament, or cabinet's resignation. In this plebiscite,( criticized by many, because of the separation of the Yes and No ballot boxes, and not being held at the same time nationwide), the majority voted against Majlis. In August 1953, therefore, the Parliament was officially dissolved.
On August 16, 1953, in an American-British orchestrated conspiracy, the Shah <the current leader of Iran> dismissed Dr. Mossadegh. The chief of the Royal Guards served Mossadegh with the formal dismissal notice. He was also ordered to occupy the house by the Royal troops as he was ordered to. But when soldiers reached the Mossadegh's house, Mossadegh's guards immediately arrested the Royal Guard's chief and his troops. The coup was publicized and the Shah fled to Italy.
On 17th and 18th of August, people took to the streets in support of Mossadegh and the statues of the Shah and his father pulled down all over the country.
On August 19th, the secret services of the U.S and Britain (CIA - MI6), engineered a more precise and expensive coup and this time succeeded in overthrowing Mossadegh's government. On this tragic day, after bribing some people from different walks of life, those behind the coup managed to pull a large number of hooligans into the streets to rally against the national government of Dr. Mossadegh......
The following day, Dr. Mossadegh and his loyal companions surrendered themselves to the coup Prime Minister, General Zahedi. A few days latter, the Shah returned to Iran from Italy <and resumed power that has been taken by Mossadegh in his August 16 coup>, and began his 25 years of despotic reign.
