A historical picture of Tehran's Baharestan square in 1961This is a statue of a woman with angel wings holding a tyrannical demon under her feet and a torch of light in her hand.This statue was in Baharestan Square until the 1979 revolution. At the beginning of the revolution, it was veiled for a while and then it was completely dismantled. Javad Khadim: I think that after Mr. Khamenei, there will be a change and religion will be abandoned.A regime that cannot provide people's livelihood has collapsed.When you regularly threaten the world, this is a sign of weakness.My advice to Mr. Khamenei is to never think about Mojtaba (his son) becoming the leader. Javad Khadem: Transition starts from the point where the military forces leave the clergy.As soon as the clergy is abandoned, the existing regime becomes a military dictatorship, which is easier for the people to confront or coexist with. Javad Khadem: Bakhtiar had accepted defeat, but Bakhtiar's thought did not fail.Bakhtiar had reached a point where nothing could be done during his lifetime. Javad Khadem: After the failure of the coup, I came to the conclusion that nothing will happen for a generation.Drinking the poison cup was the tact and cleverness of Mr. Khomeini.I have never cut ties with intelligence agencies.Most likely, a very big transformation will happen in the Islamic Republic Javad Khadem: If I go back again, I will choose the coup again.Today, there are no more conditions for a coup. Javad Khadem: I feel human guilt and not political guilt that I was responsible for the death of 300 people.If Mirhossein Mousavi was not afraid of bloodshed, maybe the Green movement would have won. Javad Khadem: Bakhtiar used to say that he will work with Satan to overthrow this regime. (So he did it with Saddam), Saddam was not a devil.Neighboring countries are often our backyard.These countries were all part of Iran and it is not bad to get help from them. Javad Khadem: The goal of the Nojeh coup was not to weaken the army in any way.Americans were tired of Saddam attacking Iran. Saddam could not withstand the pressure of war. Javad Khadem: We were the main culprit of the failure of the Nojeh coup.Saeed Hajjarian's narrative about how the Nojeh coup was revealed is closer to reality than other narratives. Javad Khadem: America did not oppose Nojeh's coup.Saddam gave full support to the coup.Israel provided informational assistance. Javad Khadem: When I suggested the coup to Bakhtiar, he was hesitant.The coup was to prevent Iraq from attacking Iran.Saddam gave us all the necessary facilities Javad Khadem: When the news of the revolution's victory was broadcast on the radio, I was in the prime minister's building.Mr. Bakhtiar said goodbye to each of us.People were coming from both sides of the palace street. Javad Khadem: Bakhtiar did not seek to preserve the legacy of the monarchy.Bakhtiar was a libertarian who wanted democracy for Iran. Javad Khadem: Narration of the last minutes of Bakhtiar's cabinet in the prime minister's officeBakhtiar was shocked when Qarabaghi called and informed about the army's neutrality. We had reached the end of the line.The announcement of the army's neutrality was not a shock to me, But Bakhtiar was shocked. Javad Khadem: France is a political whore in the real senseThe second face of France is the protection of human rights.Bakhtiar was a French citizen and his Frenchness was more than his Iranianness. Javad Khadem: The Shah could stay if he ordered the killing, but the Shah was not able to order the killing.There was a list of 600 people to "exterminate".The king wanted - like his father - to get out from under the domination of foreign forces. Javad Khadem: 20 to 25 people were killed in Jale Square.When the revolutionaries attacked the weapons depot, I told Bakhtiar to kill him, but he refused.There may have been bigger killings; But I am not aware of them. Javad Khadim: The 1979 revolution won 90% because of Khomeini's genius; The rest were tools.I always considered Khomeini a genius; Because he knew society well.The likes of Yazdi and Qutbzadeh were tools for Khomeini. Javad Khadem: Dr. Bakhtiar was during the American talks with Khomeini.If Bazargan knew what was going to happen, maybe he would not have agreed to become the prime minister and would have helped Bakhtiar.Khomeini knew that his promises to America were not important. Javad Khadem: Be sure that in revolutions, the minority with will is more important than the general society.The king was a prisoner of an illusion and could not resist because of his illness.The Americans and the British knew that the revolution could not be stopped. Javad Khadem: When Hoveyda resigned, I said that the imperial regime was destroyed.We should not think that Bakhtiar did nothing. Bakhtiar started his activity on the same day of Hoveyda's resignation. Javad Khadem: The Islamic Republic is a version of the Pahlavi regime, but with more violenceThe powers of the president today are almost equal to the powers of the prime minister during the time of the Shah.As Hoveyda was a politician, he could use the same 20% of his authority effectively. Why did Khomeini prefer Mehdi Bazargan to Shapur Bakhtiar? Conversation with Javad KhademMr. Khamenei - like Khomeini - knows that the presence of strong people around him is dangerous for him.Mr. Motahari prevented the meeting between Khomeini and Bakhtiar.Apparently, Khomeini did not say anything irrelevant until he came to power. Javad Khadem: Mr. Khomeini's Power Was Not Only in Mosques; His Supporters Were Also Present in the StreetsSaeed Hajjarian's account of the Nojeh coup is closer to the truth.The Shah believed that a king should not kill his own people. Interview of Hamideh (Noshabeh) Amiri, a reporter at the time of Kayhan in Paris, with Khomeini's wife A historical image of Amir Abbas Hoveyda's defense text published in the Ettela'at newspaper...
