TASS, August 19. The US dreams of once again overthrowing the Iranian government but it will not succeed, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Twitter.
His tweet says that "65 years ago today, the US overthrew the popularly elected democratic government of Dr. Mossadegh, restoring the dictatorship and subjugating Iranians for the next 25 years. Now an "Action Group" dreams of doing the same through pressure, misinformation and demagoguery. Never again."
On August 16, the US Department of State announced the establishment of the Iran Action Group, which will coordinate the United States’ actions against Tehran. The group will be led by Brian Hook, a new special envoy for Iran.
According to US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, the Iran Action Group will "lead the way in growing efforts with nations which share our understanding of the Iranian threat." Hook, in turn, told reporters that the announcement about the group’s formation had not been timed with the 65th anniversary of the CIA-engineered overthrow of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh, which took place in August 1953, and it was "a pure coincidence.".
