The CIA Files - Part 10
About this episode
In this episode, Colonel Towner-Watkins discusses the role of the British and American intelligence community in the overthrow of Mohammad Mosaddegh and connects it to the Iranian Revolution and recent Middle Eastern events.
Yesterday I had Colonel Towner-Watkins on for part 10 of the CIA Files. This week we were talking about Iran and the role of the British and American intelligence community in the overthrow of Mohammad Mosaddegh. This included Kermit Roosevelt, the Dulles brothers, and other notable figures around the Truman and Eisenhower administrations. We also connected the dots a little bit to the Iranian Revolution in 1979 and recent events in the Middle East, but I’m sure we will cover those in more detail in the future. You can find the Colonel on Twitter , Rumble , YouTube , and Substack. Kontrarian Korner is a reader-supported publication.
