IRAN WAS TURNED INTO A PROBLEM for the west by the west, a top CIA agent reveals in a stunning new documentary.
Peter Sichel, former CIA station chief based in Hong Kong, gave an interview in a documentary, The Last Spy, before he died last year, aged 102.
In the 1950s, Iranian Prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh wanted to nationalize the oil industry to share the profits with the people of Iran, Sichel said.
So MI6 and the CIA overthrew him and installed the authoritarian Shah of Iran, M Reza Pahlavi, who promised to keep Iran’s oil money going to western oil corporations.
But the whole thing was so brutally unfair that Iranians complained for decades, and eventually toppled Pahlavi in 1979.

REPEATING HISTORY
Today, US President Donald Trump wants to get the US-serving Pahlavi faction reinstated, and Iran’s oil profits to be again controlled by the west.
None of this was necessary. “If we had not got rid of Mossadegh, Iran today would be a good member of the family of nations,” Sichel says in the documentary.
CIA historians acknowledge that the success of the US-UK operation against the Iranians in the 1950s prompted similar actions elsewhere—a long list of regime change operations.

DISLOYAL CIA AGENT
When Sichel complained to his CIA bosses about the endless fearmongering about socialists and communists, he was painted as disloyal. The communist threat simply wasn't real.
The MI6-CIA’s Iran coup model was used multiple times. In 1954, the US installed a military dictator in Guatemala, sparking a civil war that killed 245,000 people.
Under the unwritten rules of western global dominance, the US, UK and Israel are never held accountable for crimes, however many innocent people die.
And that’s why things have to change.
