FORMER PRIME MINISTER MOHAMMAD MOSSADEQ'S Minister of Foreign Affairs<br />
Hosseyn Fatemi (standing, dressed in black and with a beard), is shown here in 1954—following the<br />
U.S.-backed coup—after he was captured by Savak (the Shah's secret police), headed at the time by<br />
Sardar Moazzam Bakhtiari (seated). Fatemi was an outspoken Iranian nationalist and supporter of<br />
Mossadeq. Fatemi was also an ardent critic of the Pahlavi monarchy and regularly wrote editorials<br />
assailing the royal family. Fatemi was accused of trying to overthrow the Shah and was sentenced to<br />
death. Shortly before he was executed by firing squad, Fatemi named Mossadeq as the guardian of<br />
his only son, Cyrus.
