SAEDNEWS: The new Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian blamed internal division at the time of democratically-elected Mohammad Mossadegh government in Iran for the success of the US CIA-led coup in 1953.
According to SAEDNEWS, In a cabinet session on Sunday afternoon, President Pezeshkian marked the anniversary of the 1953 US-led coup that overthrew the democratically-elected government of Mohammad Mossadegh in Iran. During his address, he emphasized the importance of national unity, stating that "division and internal differences were among the reasons for America's success in that coup."
Reflecting on the historical context, President Pezeshkian asserted, "If there had been unity and integration among the clergy, intellectuals and the people at that time, this American coup against the Iranian people would definitely have failed." His remarks serve as a reminder of the impact of internal discord on national sovereignty.
As discussions unfold, the president expressed his hope that lawmakers in the Iranian parliament will grant a vote of confidence to his proposed ministers, facilitating the formation of his cabinet. The parliament has already begun examining the qualifications of the proposed ministers since yesterday, with the president defending his selections during a nationwide televised session.
Pezeshkian underscored the necessity of unity and collaboration among government branches to navigate the challenges ahead. The anticipated vote of confidence is scheduled for Wednesday, August 21, as the nation watches closely.
