Abstract

The question why Mussadiq failed in leading Iran National Movement and why he could not finally achieve his aims is one of the most important questions that researchers on Iranian contemporary history are dealing with. Using situational analysis this research attempts to find out shortcomings of Mussadiq's political actions which enabled the opposition to remove him from power. Up until now researchers provided diverse answers to this question. Some highlighted his failure in safeguarding the unity of his allies; others highlighted his weak political leadership; some others raised his trust in the US government as a reliable mediator between him and the British government; a group found his main problem to be giving free space to the Toodeh communist party; and finally another group asserted that his main shortcoming was rooted in his trust to the unorganized masses of people. All the five cases are true, although none reflects the main cause of his failure. After scrutinizing the situation, this paper concludes that the main cause was his uncertainty between two contradicting political roles: being a liberal Prime Minister or a revolutionary leader.
