You mean news articles years later trying to vilify a country?
Let me know when you have something substantial.
Here is a nice timeline and there is no mention of this "referendum".
Timeline of Iranian Coup
All the dates of the articles are from 1953, not 2008+.
Stop the revisionist history please.
Yes you've been spouting nothing but pure propaganda and you can't contest the incontrovertible facts that I have presented. Tell me which part of my post is false. I'll be waiting with baited breath.
The whole thing is false, pure propaganda, and an effort to rewrite history in accordance with the US perspective.
Simpleχity;1064546255 said:No NATO missile systems are in Denmark yet. But Russia has already placed nuclear-capable Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad ... which borders two NATO nations.
You always conveniently ignore that fact.
Simpleχity;1064546256 said:Bad things happen when you hold embassy personnel hostage for 444 days.
Simpleχity;1064546350 said:And it seems that you've forgotten that over one million Jews fled the USSR at the first opportunity.
You're actually in disagreement with the facts as you usually are.
Which state sponsors more terrorism across the globe than Iran does?
The logical basis of such thinking is nonexistent. Russia has no right to just target NATO members out of the blue, regardless of what you may believe.
Well if you'd read the comments in this thread you'd see I have already referred to the way the Shah had came to power.
That you believe this is "terrorism" is ridiculous, and clearly I don't see what it has to do with the fact that Iran sponsors terrorism.
The opinion of William Odom is simply is own. If you wish to base your claim that the United States engages in terrorism or that it had engaged so in the past the way that Iran does so now you will refer to actual facts such as terror attacks carried by the United States or by any of its proxies.
The Shah era has ended over 36 years ago, and your words carry no relevancy whatsoever to present time or to your argument that the present day Iranian government is not engaging in terrorism or even to your claim that the radicals were imposed by the US. Refer to these arguments that you've made.
No it's not. It's their agenda that caused them to turn towards the West. You don't see the Indian government managing terror proxies and ordering them to hit Western targets in revenge for the British colonialism era. Don't be absurd.
Are you saying the Russian invasion isn't aggression?
A) The Soviet Union shares the exact same amount of war guilt as the Third Reich for the outbreak of WW2 under the secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact under which they divided Eastern Europe amongst themselves culminating in the joint Soviet-Reich invasion of Poland and Stalin fed the German war machine with wheat and fuel.
B) The Jews didn't steal Palestine because it was under British sovereignty and the overwhelming majority of the land was either owned outright by Jews or was British Crown Land.
C) The Soviet Union under Stalin was overtly anti-Semitic and promoted nearly identical propaganda as the Third Reich and Stalin committed numerous pogroms against Jews.
D) The overwhelming majority of Bolsheviks were ethnically Russian not Jewish, Marx was Jewish, but Engels the cofounder of communism was not, and Lennon was only half Jewish, communism as part of some Jewish conspiracy is nothing but a classic anti-Semitic canard which would play nicely to readers of Der Sturmer.
As though your opinion is paramount to that of the director of the NSA, lol.
Also, I see that you're unaware of the CIA's methodology in overthrowing the democratically elected government of Iran to install a dictator, who terrorized the Iranian populace, until the Iranians thru off that yoke. Something you support in other ME countries. Yours, as usual, is hypocritical.
To the bolded, but US interference in Iran never has!!!!!!
Mossadeq was appointed by the Shah and ratified by the Iranian Parliament, and he was only ousted after he dissolved parliament through an Unconstitutional and fraudulent national referendum in which he garnered a 99.9% yes vote and granted himself indefinite "emergency powers" because they wouldn't give him direct control over the military (some beacon of liberal democracy you have there) the Shah was still the legitimate head of state under the Iranian Constitution, it was not a coup it was a counter-coup.
No, but it's you who believes that your opinion that Iran is not the number one sponsor of terrorism on the planet is somehow the word of God even though it is completely contradicted by the fact that no other nation arms, trains and directs more terror operations across the globe than Iran does. In fact it's arguable that any other nation actually directs terrorists like Iran does, since nations like Saudi Arabia and Qatar are only known to fund terrorists and not actually operate them the way Iran operates the terrorist organization of Hezbollah for example.
Nowhere have I declared my support for installing "puppet-regimes" in other nations, so that's merely a strawman argument on your side, per usual in your case. Also, you do not seem to realize what the words terrorize and hypocrisy mean.
Bollocks. US actions regarding Iran after the ending of the Shah era were not "interference" like the installment of the Shah regime was but a direct result of Iranian actions.
You have no evidence of your claim of Iranian terrorism. Whereas I've documented the US use of terrorism around the world. It doesn't matter whether or not you acknowledge it.
Right, just like you claimed there is no evidence to Assad's butchering of Syrian civilians with chemical weapons on Syrian streets.
You seem to be living on a planet of your own, where all the evil arch murderers are angels and the West is the devil.

And if you believe that referring to the words of an ex-official of the US administration is "documenting" then you really have no idea on how to base an argument.
Lol. If the land of Palestine was "British crown land", it's only because they too stole it during the hey day of British imperialism, that you like to forget about.

1953 Iranian coup d'état - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When will the U.S. admit that the U.S. was not only “involved”, but – as documented by the New York Times – Iranians working for the C.I.A. in the 1950’s posed as Communists and staged bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected president (see also this essay)?
Your nothing more than an apologist for Western atrocities.
Exclusive: CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He Gassed Iran
The U.S. knew Hussein was launching some of the worst chemical attacks in history -- and still gave him a hand.
Exclusive: CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He Gassed Iran | Foreign Policy
I'm Irish I don't forget it but before it was British it was Turkish crown land under the Ottoman Empire which YOU like to forget about.
Never have I denied that the CIA was involved with the ouster of Mossadeq I have only posted incontrovertible historical facts that Mossadeq was not some beacon of liberal democracy and to the contrary he was authoritarian.
Oh and btw Post those CIA Files your source is claiming exist.
Why would you say that, I'm no fan of the Ottoman or any other empires.
And there isn't any. And General Odom, NSA director under Ronald Reagan wasn't espousing an opinion but fact, you're the one with an opinion. Want to quote wiki to prove your Iranian meme, fine, I'll do the same.
The United States has been involved in and assisted in the overthrow of foreign governments (more recently termed "regime change") without the overt use of U.S. military force. Often, such operations are tasked to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Regime change has been attempted through direct involvement of U.S. operatives, the funding and training of insurgency groups within these countries, anti-regime propaganda campaigns, coups d'état, and other activities usually conducted as operations by the CIA. These actions were sometimes accompanied by direct military action, such as following the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989 and the U.S.-led military invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Some argue that non-transparent United States government agencies working in secret sometimes mislead or do not fully implement the decisions of elected civilian leaders and that this has been an important component of many such operations,[1] Some contend that the U.S. has supported more coups against democracies that it perceived as communist, becoming communist, or pro-communist.

It's not the business of the US to be conducting regime change no matter what you think of a government. Btw, I did, read the link you quoted.
After his surrender was that published; again it never happened in Iran.Ya like the Iranian tourism website article? :roll:
lol, either you're illiterate or don't bother to read, from your own damn link:
Aug. 4, 1953
• Mossadegh, suspecting that British and American governments were plotting against him, holds a referendum calling for the Iranian parliament to be dissolved......
Timeline of Iranian Coup
And from the NYT's article contained in that link:
August 21, 1953
Mossadegh Quits Teheran Hideout; Is Held for Trial
Dr. Mossadegh, who had eliminated all means of an orderly change in government and achieved dictatorial powers before his overthrow......
Mossadegh Quits Teheran Hideout; Is Held for Trial
The only one posting revisionist history is YOU, I am posting incontrovertible historical fact, Mossadeq held a national referendum to dissolve parliament in which he garnered a laughable 99.9% yay vote after which he granted himself the power to make law by extending his emergency powers indefinitely, some beacon of democracy you have there. :roll:
After his surrender was that published; again it never happened in Iran.
Its revisionist propaganda and nothing more.
No, you gave me a date that this referendum happened and there isn't a single article anywhere that talks about it on that date. If this referendum did happened it'd have been all over the news at the time. As the UK was in heated debates with Iran at the time over the oil issues.lol ok you proved yourself wrong with your own link and have not been able to contest a single solitary historical FACT which I have presented. To reiterate you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
