Iranians had had the temerity to elect a progressive, secular prime minister who believed that the country’s oil belonged to its people, not to the United Kingdom or the US. And few Americans recall that after the coup, the CIA installed a brutal police state under the Shah.
很少有美国人知道，CIA在1953年推翻了民主的伊朗政府。伊朗人冒失地选择了一位进步的世俗总理，他认为伊朗的石油属于伊朗人民而不是英国或美国。也很少有美国人记得，政变发生后，CIA在伊朗国王背后扶植了一个残暴的警察国家。
