The Day Iran’s Democracy Died

In 1953, with the help of the United States, Britain removed the first democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohamed Mosad. Mosadegh is a revolutionary who nationalized Iranian oil and tried to eliminate British monopoly on Iranian oil. Through TPAJAX's action, the United States launched a series of coups in various countries, Iran was deprived of democratic rights and the American-sponsored authoritarian dictators were put in their position. This interference to the Iranian issue led to decades of American hatred and subsequent Iranian hostage crisis.

Stephen Kinzel: Today it is difficult to believe that the words "Iran" and "democracy" can be used with the same sentence, but indeed, in the late 1940s and early 1950s Iran was fully functional and active. A developing democratic country. Iran was a target of foreign intervention as Iran did not allow the oil industry to continue to be exploited by foreigners, so Iran became the target of foreign intervention, and in the summer of 1953 America destroyed Iranian democracy. We put the king in the position of the king. With the increase in repression, he ruled for 25 years. His repression caused the occurrence of the Islamic Revolution in the late 1970s.

Shah Pahlavi left the United States in December 1979 and finally got exile in Egypt On July 27, 1980, he died of cancer complications. In September 1980, the Iraqi army invaded Iran and began the Iran - Iraq war. With these incidents, the Iranian government decided to negotiate with the US and Algeria as intermediaries. A few minutes after the new president Ronald Reagan took office, the hostage was officially released to the United States the day after signing the Algiers Agreement.

In 1980, Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter as the president of the United States. I do not know the country yet, but this year is the year when the Gulf War that Iraq invaded Iran really began. Since Iran has a group of Americans, the United States initially endorsed Iraq in conflict and offered weapons to Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Over the past decade, military interest has concentrated in the Middle East. In Reagan times, the President called the Soviet Union "evil empire" and urged Congress to fund its strategic defense plan (often called "Star Wars"). Reagan wants to protect America from nuclear attacks. The former Soviet Union; however, there is no indication that his plan will be effective

During the Cold War, Iran was once a strong ally of the United States, and obviously expressed support for the Soviet Union. The US government wants to restore Iranian democracy to support the very popular Iranian kingdom. It was under the guidance of Ayatollah Khomeini that Americans saw the radical Muslim for the first time. Today, Iran 's nuclear development program involves the entire world as well as the United States. Although some predict sometimes war will start, the relationship between the United States and Iran is also nervous, and the important issue is the situation of Iran's nuclear development plan. It is worth noting that the US helped Iran start nuclear power plans for nuclear power generation in the 1960s. However, when the United States backed up the collapse of the Iranian government in 1979, relations between the two countries deteriorated and exacerbated deterioration.
