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.'"
