LCA 266 CLASS NOTES: 1
INTRO TO THE MODERN MIDDLE EAST
Mosaddeq Era
The increase of nationalist and radical sentiment after the Second World War in
Iran inflamed Iranian resentment over the political and economic control
exercised by the AIOC (Anglo-Iranian Oil Company). The AIOC (later BP, or
British Petroleum) was seen (rightly) as a major cause and channel for British
Influence and control over Iran.
Who was Mohammad Mosaddeg?
Mohammad Mosaddeq was a high-born western-trained liberal nationalist intellectual
who started his Iranian official career as a teen-ager, continued briefly to attack Reza
Shah’s programs in the majlis. He was soon put out of office and retired to his estate,
reemerging to prominence in WWII. By late 1949 Mosaddeq was part of a nationalist
political group in-between the Tudeh (Masses) party on the left and the right. He was a
highly popular political leader known for his early opposition to Reza Shah and foreign
control over Iran.
Lead up to the 1953 Coup: i
Popular sentirnent and demonstrations were so marked by 1950 that the majlis turned
completely to a pro-Mosaddeq position.
o Nationalization of the oil industry was approved by the majlis in March
1951 and soon thereafter Mosaddeq became premier, replacing the shah’s
choice, Hosain Ala. Mosaddeq headed a coalition of secular and religious
nationalist parties, the National Front.
American officials were increasingly alarmed by the “radical” (i.e., independent
nationalist) implications of Iranian actions. The Tudeh party also gained in strength and
helped push Iran toward anti-British and anti-American policies.
The refusal of AIOC to meet the 50-50 profit-division pattern seen in new American oil
agreements until it was too late, and its obstinacy on other issues, moved many moderates
to favor nationalization, as did pressures from street demonstrations and threats of
assassination.
