Mohammad Mosaddeq (Mossadeq ▶) (Persian: محمد مصدقMoḥammad Moṣaddeq, also Mosaddegh or Mossadegh) (June 16, 1882 – March 5, 1967) was a major figure in modern Iranian history who served as the Prime Minister of Iran[1][2] from 1951 to 1953 when he was removed from power by a coup d'état.
From an aristocratic background, Mosaddeq was a nationalist and passionately opposed foreign intervention in Iran. An author, administrator, lawyer, prominent parliamentarian, and statesman, he is most famous as the architect of the nationalization of the Iranian oil industry,[3] which had been under British control through the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company
