CIA admits role in 1953 Iran coup against democratically-elected Mosadeq
Press TV – August 19, 2013
The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has for the first time published a document that confirms Washington’s role in the 1953 coup d’état against the democratically-elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosadeq.
The open acknowledgment by the US intelligence community comes some six decades after the British- and American-backed military overthrow.
