MNA � Referring to the 1953 Iranian coup d'�tat, Iranian President's Chief of Staff Mahmoud Vaezi said that Iranian people remember this event as a symbol of American evil and US irresponsible intervention.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Vaezi wrote, "Sixty-seven years ago on this day, the Americans overthrew the elected government of the Iranian people by participating in a shameful coup."

"The 1953 Iranian coup d'�tat was neither the first nor the last American intervention in the internal affairs of other countries," he added, saying, "In the minds of the Iranian people, this event is a symbol of American evil and the US irresponsible intervention."

He went on to say, "Twenty-five years after that coup, Iranians, of course, organized a revolution that ended any foreign interference in the affairs of the country and the fate of the people."

On August 19, 1953, the United States and the United Kingdom orchestrated a coup using the Iranian military to overthrow the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favor of strengthening the monarchical rule of the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
