There are many similarities between the national movement and the Islamic movement that we Iranians have either forgotten or forgiven. Dr. Mossadegh came to office the first time for the assassination of Timsar Razmara, and the second time for the street coup against the legitimate and elected prime minister, Qawam al-Sultaneh. But we have learned to suppress these bitter truths. In the case of oil, he did not have the court-friendly logic to advance his request within the framework of international laws, nor did he have the military power to stand up to Britain. So his action was already doomed to failure. But we have preferred to be distracted from these painful facts. Dr. Mossadegh was the father of Iran's economic sanctions, much earlier than Khomeini and Khamenei. He was the one who brought the dollar from 3 tomans to 13 tomans within 28 months. Isn't it time to break Mossadegh's taboo? Or is it still not beneficial to tell the truth about him? Is it still national blasphemy?
