Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh

The 17th Iranian Majlis was a legislative assembly with a term beginning on April 25, 1952.

Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh was removed from power in a coup on 19 August 1953, organised and carried out by the CIA at the request of the British MI6 which chose Iranian General Fazlollah Zahedi to succeed Mosaddegh.[1]

The 17th Majlis was ultimately dissolved by Mohammad Reza Shah.
