For decades, the CIA vehemently denied any responsibility in the Iranian coup, affecting shock and horror that anyone would accuse them of such a thing. The CIA feigned a similar pious outrage over the coup in Chile in 1973.
Of course, the CIA's fingerprints were all over both, and eventually the evidence became so overwhelming that the CIA had to confess to orchestrating each of these coups.
When will the CIA admit to its role in Kiev in 2014? Its fingerprints were all over that coup as well.
It is because of reporting like this that people see the US and UK coming. Thank-you for that. I’m battling a lot of people so proud of what we have been able to accomplish with S. Korea as far as business agreements,(insane influx of Kias and Hyundai’s) and Christianity. Hopefully, now they’ll see why. Empire membership, protection and loan guarantees come a steep price. Withholding Saudi funds was just the beginning with cannon fodder for war with China the real aim.
Mossadeqs nationalisation only came after the British rejected his request for a 45% cut instead of an estimated 15%. Saudi Arabia had just cut the same deal and Iran just wanted the same conditions.
Any references or citations that would support this statement “Offered a significant cut of AIOC’s profits in return for US backing, Eisenhower signed off..."
It’s curious after this episode Eisenhower did not back British French and Israeli operations on the Suez Canal in 1956 and the British pound collapsed as a global reserve currency. They also subsequently withdrew from the Persian Gulf
The playbook gets so tedious if not for its destructive efficacy.
Thanks for all the behind-the-scenes readings you do so we don’t have to. Although, if I may, can I ask for book recommendations on Iranian/Persian history? One of the authors cited in your piece, Ervand Abrahamian, has one on modern Iran (20th century). Have you read any good one(s) on pre-modern history of the state? It’s ok if there isn’t any. Thank you~

Seems about sixty years between CIA coups and declassified archives admitting to it! :~)

Yep, standard practice - wait until everyone involved is dead and then quietly fess up

Thank you Mr. Klarenberg.

Is there proof of this?
Thanks again
The US getting a cut is well-documented. It's referenced in Rory Cormac's Disrupt and Deny. You may also find this of interest: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consortium_Agreement_of_1954
