Reagan sold TOW missiles to the Iranians to fund the Contra guerrilla insurgents attacking the Sandinista government in Nicaragua in violation of the Boland Amendment and prior to this arms-for-hostages deal, DCI (Director of Central Intelligence) George H.W. Bush, who was running as Reagan's vice president in the Nov. 1980 election against Jimmy Carter arranged for the hostages to be held until after the Nov. 1980 election at an Oct. 1980 meeting with Iranian officials to make Carter look like he could not secure the release of the hostages. The Iranian 1953 coup involved the overthrow of the Mosaddegh government by the CIA and the installation of the CIA's puppet, the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. According to researchers, the reason that the Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh was taken out of power was western greed for continued control of Persian oil. Specifically, Mosaddegh's nationalization of the oilfields that Anglo Iranian Oil Corporation (AIOC)—also known as Anglo British Petroleum Company, owned in Iran, is the reason that the CIA overthrew the democratically elected Mosaddegh government and installed the fascist Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The coup in Iran of 1953 known as Operation Ajax involved the CIA paying a mob to storm the official residence of democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddegh while pro-Shah tank regiments stormed Iran's capital in Tehran and there was a violent street combat conflict between pro-Shah military forces and Iranian forces loyal to Mosaddegh in the streets of Tehran. The different types of mercenaries proxy guerrilla fighters unleashed out of third world prisons in U.S. wars in Syria and Vietnam are analyzed in this report as well as new details regarding the conditions that led to the overthrow of the Shah in 1979 and the land reform measures of the Sandinistas that led the CIA to want to overthrow this revolutionary government through selling arms to Iran to fund the Contra's dirty deeds. Two British (SAS) Special Air Service soldiers dressed as Arabs were apprehended in BASRA Iraq leading to yet another storming of jails by other U. K. Special Forces, this time causing 150 other Iraqi prisoners to escape, which indicates that this tactic often occurs in covert warfare across multiple spectrums of war theaters in third world nations U.S. imperialism targets so that these countries that are historically exploited by Anglo-Colonial European powers cannot use their natural resources for their own personal development to enter into second world or first world status as is their natural human right.
