U.S. Ambassador and Zahedi Discussed Financial Aid

On August 31, 1953 (9th of Shahrivar 1332), Loy Henderson, the U.S. Ambassador to Iran, met with Lieutenant General Fazlollah Zahedi, the Prime Minister following the 28 Mordad coup.

The topic of discussion was the provision of immediate financial aid to Iran—a meeting held during the highly sensitive days following the fall of Mohammad Mosaddegh's government, underscoring that the new administration faced severe financial challenges to stabilize itself and relied heavily on foreign support.
