Dollars Rejected Diplomacy in Iran Revealed by Brooks
Rep Jack Brooks said the United States used dollars instead of diplomacy to bolster Iran. The House subcommittee described the 5.2 billion dollar aid program from 1951 to 1955 as loose and shocking, pouring uncontrolled money into Iran amid economic troubles after Mossadeqi's 1951 nationalization. Iran's 1000 mile border with Russia and 13 percent of world oil reserves framed U.S. aims, with Eisenhower authorizing a 400 million dollar two year aid plan for the region.
