APPENDIX B 111 Phase 2. A massive propaganda campaign against Mossadeq and his government but with Mossadeq himself as the principal target. This will begin only a week or two before the climax of Situation A so as not to offer too much time for a sharp reaction by Mossadeq and so that the impact will not be dispersed by being long and drawn out. Phase 3. This is Situation A, which is described in full in a following paragraph. b. Duties of Specific Elements 1. Press and publicity. In the preliminary support period the British group will continue to use its numerous smaller papers to push an anti-Mossadeq line. At Headquarters and at the field station U.S. personnel will draft and put into Persian the texts for articles, broadsheets and pamphlets, some pro-Shah and some anti- Mossadeq. The material designed to discredit Mossadeq will hammer the following themes. a. Mossadeq favors the Tudeh Party and the USSR. (This will be supported by black documents.) b. Mossadeq is an enemy of Islam since he associates with the Tudeh and advances their aims. c. Mossadeq is deliberately destroying the morale of the Army and its ability to maintain order. d. Mossadeq is deliberately fostering the growth of regional separatist elements through his removal of Army control over trib al areas. One of the aims of the removal of control by the Army is to make it easier for the Soviets to take over the Northern Pro vinces. e. Mossadeq is deliberately leading the country into economic collapse. f. Mossadeq has been corrupted by power to such an extent that no trace is left of the fine man of earlier years, and he now has all the repressive instincts of [a] dictator. g. Consistent with these themes will be the persistent slant that Mossadeq has been the unwitting victim of his unscrupulous, per-
112 THE CIA IN IRAN sonally ambitious advisors. It is considered essential that Zahedi make an early choice of the man who will be his director of press and propaganda and who may be deputy prime minister as well. The U.S. field station will obtain from Zahedi the name of the man he has in mind who must be acceptable to the United States and the United Kingdom. One or two weeks before the date set for Situation A, the intensive propaganda effort will begin. The details relative to the execution of this campaign will be the primary responsibility of the U.S. field station. Immediately after the change of government, Zahedi's director of press and propaganda must be prepared to: a. Make maximum use of Radio Tehran. b. Through Radio Tehran, posters, special news sheets, etc, spread the progress of broadcast appeal presented in simplest terms, such as immediate slashes in living costs, increased pay for government officials and Army personnel, etc. c. Give maximum local publicity to U.S. and UK statements which will have been prepared in advance. d. Brief all foreign correspondents. (2) The Majlis. If the Majlis is in session at the time of the coup, an effort will be made to have the change of government formalized. If it is not in session it will be called into session by one of its elected officers who will have to be a member of the anti-Mossadeq opposition. To prepare for the change of government, a number of the deputies will be approached and purchased. It is yet to be decided whether the purchases are to be made by the British group or directly by Zahedi himself who, as long as he enjoys the sanctuary of the Majlis building, is in excellent position to achieve such an aim. Following the receipt from one or both of the above elements of a list of deputies with the amounts required for the purchase of each one, a special funding operation will be established within the framework of the joint authorization for the execution of this plan. The U.S. field station will also employ various agents and contacts to support this operation.
