AIOC Oil Concession in Iran

AIOC's oil concessions in Iran are not controversial. In general, AIOC claims to be a well-maintained company that plays a progressive and evolving role in Iran, but the Iranian think the company is representative of the greedy exploitation of British imperialism . Regardless of whether AIOC contributed to the Iranian economy or not, the AIOC did not provide opportunities for economic nationalists, so the conflict between the AIOC and the Iranian government eventually led to a nationalization crisis in 1951.

In 1909, Britain - Persian Oil Corporation (APOC) was established as a subsidiary of Myanmar Oil Company. It became a British - Iranian oil company (AIOC) by 1935, but after the assassination of Prime Minister Ali Rasmala, the Iranian oil industry was nationalized and an Iranian oil company was established on behalf of AIOC. At that time, the UK government owned the AIOC and asked about the nationalization of The Hague's International Court of Justice, but the complaint was dismissed.

Iran's oil is discovered and is later managed by AIOC owned by the UK. The dissatisfaction with AIOC began in the late 1940s. The majority of Iranian citizens and some politicians thought the company was exploitative and Iran was the central tool for continuing British imperialism. In 1949, an assassin tried to kill Shah. She was beginning to play an increasingly aggressive role in politics as its experience shocked and the general public expressed sympathy for his injuries. He soon organized an Iran Constitutional Council to amend the Constitution to strengthen its power. He was part of the 1906 Constitution, but founded the Iranian Senate who has never been called. Shah has the right to appoint half of the Senator and he chose people who sympathize with his goals. Mossad believes that the expansion of the Shah regime is not democratic and believes Shah should rule over "rather than reign" in a manner similar to the European monarchy's constitutional system.
