RELATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES, 1952-1954, IRAN, 1951-54
۳۱۷.
Information Report Prepared in the Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, September 14, 1953.
SUBJECT : Relations between the Shah and Prime Minister Zahedi
۱.
On 3 September 1953 the Shah stated that he “is a new man” since his return to
Iran. “Before 19 August 1953, I was the son of Reza Shah. Now I am the
Shah in my own right.”
۲.
The Shah stated also that he will not make the mistakes he made with Ali
Razmara and Mohammed Mossadeq. During their premierships, he kept
“hands off” and let them run the country; he will now take a direct interest.
۳. The Shah has told Brigadier General Hassan Akhavi, Deputy
Chief of Staff, to send all Army papers to him. The Shah added that Prime
Minister Zahedi could receive information copies but that all action
on Army matters would proceed from himself.
۴. The first disagreement between the Shah and Zahedi occurred
concerning Major General Ahmad Vosuq, Deputy Minister of National Defense.
Vosuq is a “Shah man” and Zahedi is resisting Vosuq’s appointment as
Minister of National Defense and states that he does not trust Vosuq. The Shah
has announced that Zahedi must refrain from interfering in Army
affairs.
۵. The Shah has included Ardeshir Zahedi, the son of the
Prime Minister, within his private circle of friends. The Shah plays volleyball
with Ardeshir, and once, when the latter was two hours late for an appointment
with the Shah about which Ardeshir had not been notified, the Shah solicitously
sent his own limousine in search of him and called the Police and the Military
Governor. The Shah is worried about the danger of attempts on the lives of both
Prime Minister Zahedi and his son Ardeshir.
۶. The Shah has ordered Prime Minister Zahedi to wear a
bullet-proof vest of American origin on all state occasions, saying, “This is
an order that you must obey.”
