Birthday of a great Iranian Mohammad Mosaddegh

Mohammad Mosaddegh, who was prime minister of Iran between 1951 and 1953, was born on this day in 1882. He died in 1967.

He is regarded as the leading champion of secular democracy and resistance to foreign domination in Iran.

The CIA and MI6 worked in tandem to have him removed from office.

To watch the actions and words of the United States in these days one is reminded of their behaviour and interference in the internal affairs of Iran. 

And the British too have anything but clean hands.

The holier-than-thou words of US secretary of state Mike Pompeo and Britain's foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt could easily make the world forget the blood that is on the hands of the US and the UK in their underhand and criminal behaviour in Iran.
