Episode notes

Mossad dev is not solely focused on promoting the idea of negative equilibrium, which is the idea that Iran will not concede any concessions to either the British or the Russians.
This theory is based on the idea that concessions given to one side will be reciprocated by the other.
The current Iranian leader is thinking in terms of this theory, which may clear the way for him to promote the idea of negative equilibrium.

Featuring Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi and Golnar Nikpour on the history of modern Iran. This is the second episode in our four-part series. We begin in 1941 with the British-Soviet occupation of Iran, the ouster of Reza Shah and his replacement by his son, Mohammad Reza Shah. We continue with the rise of the Tudeh communist party, the nationalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, Mohammad Mosaddegh's National Party coming to power, and the 1953 US-British coup that overthrew Mosaddegh and reinstalled Mohammad Reza Shah as dictator. His brutal reign continued until the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which is where we will pick up in episode three.
