This proves @JZarif’s hypocrisy of claiming to defend Mosaddegh & accusing the U.S. of misinformation & demagoguery. These are the same accusations raised by Iranians against #Iran’s regime for 40 years now.

Addendum:
Among the documents provided by Ardeshir Zahedi, the Shah’s last Ambassador to the U.S., we see a hand-written note reading:
"800,000 rial to Kashani"

Addendum:
An image of Houshang Anusheh.
He was executed after the 19 August 1953 coup in #Iran.
His "crime" - Supporting Iran's then PM Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh.
This true patriot was smiling & held his head high before the firing squad.
