SOAS eulogises late Imperialist

College pays homage to deceased academic who helped West steal Iranian oil

 

 

 

Historian Prof. Ervand Abrahamian in his book Khomeinism: Essays on the Islamic Republic records that:

"The British, determined to undermine Mossadeq from the day he was elected premier, refused to negotiate seriously with him ... Professor Lambton, serving As a Foreign Office consultant, advised as early as November 1951 that the British government should persevere in 'undermining' Mossadeq, refuse to reach agreement with him, and reject American attempts to find a compromise solution. 'The Americans,' she insisted, 'do not have the experience or the psychological insight to understand Persia.'"
