Abstract

    Iran oil industry nationalization following by august 28th coup d'état, and the political actions of the other countries involved in this issue has been considered from many aspects by researchers. But, no research has ever been conducted based on the American documents and press which had significant role in that time of Iran history. The present study, based on an historical analysis method with an emphasize on America foreign ministry and the New York times documents, presents a clear picture of the America’s politicians position and their perceptions in oil nationalization and the failure of doctor Mosadegh in Iran. In fact, the main issue followed by this study is to find out the America government and social attitudes towards the oil industry and Mosadegh appointment have been based on what principles, and also it is finding an answer regarding Mosadegh’s failure political and historical causes.
