Anniversary of events after dismissal of Mohammad Mosaddegh, Mordad 28. On this day in 1953, the government of Mohammad Mosaddegh in Iran was overthrown with the involvement of domestic and foreign forces. Following the event, a wave of arrests and political restrictions began, and many political activists and members of the National Front were detained. This event had a significant impact on modern Iranian history and changed the country’s political structure. After the overthrow, martial law was imposed and many newspapers and political parties were shut down. Widespread arrests and trials targeted opponents of the new government, and the political climate remained affected by these changes for years. The anniversary continues to be a subject of attention among researchers and political activists, with ongoing discussions each year about its consequences and various aspects. This observance was added to the Jalali calendar in 1954 by cultural and political institutions due to its historical significance and broad impact, serving as a reminder of a pivotal moment in Iran’s contemporary history.
