The 1953 coup d’etat in Iran ushered in
a period of exploitation and oppression that has continued – despite a
subsequent revolution that led to huge changes – for 70 years. Each year on
August 19, the anniversary of the coup, millions of Iranians ask themselves
what would have happened if the US and UK had not conspired all those years ago
to overthrow Iran’s democratically elected leader.
