Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This document, titled "The Opium Government", was declassified by the Central Intelligence Agency on June 21, 2011. It is dated 8 July 1953, but its author is not mentioned. The CIA produced propaganda material like this to be sent to Tehran, translated into Persian and then printed by newspapers that were paid off to agitate against the Iranian government led by Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. In this article, it is claimed that Iran is "despised" by foreigners because "70%" of Iranians, including cabinet ministers, are drug addicts. Mosaddegh is accused of ordering production of opium for money. It also adds Allahyar Saleh, Iranian ambassador to the United States, smuggled 550 cases of opium to that country for a price of $1,100 per case, and making $609,000 in just one month.
