THE BATTLE FIELDS OF KHUZESTAN

I arrived in Ahvaz, the capital city of the south western Iranian province of Khuzestan a few days after the end of the Iranian New Year. Holidaymakers had already returned home and roads were less crowded. It was the beginning of spring and the weather was very mild and pleasant.

Khuzestan is famous for the richness of it’s resources, namely oil, gas and the resulting petrochemical products. However, if you scratch the surface of this wealthy province you will discover stories that span over a thousand years of history.

The tides of history have swept across these lands bring with them religious invasions, uprisings and wars. Fourteen centuries ago this land was invaded by Arab hordes under the flag of Islam which slowly but surely turned it into a country populated by Muslims. In recent memory that history repeated itself when the secular Arab Baathist regime of Saddam Hussein invaded the newly born Islamic Republic of Iran.

Mosadegh House in Ahmadabad

The house of the late Dr Mohammad Mosadegh and his tomb is located in the village of Ahmad Abad near the city of Karaj.

Mosaddegh was a prominent Iranian politician and Prime Minister of Iran from 1951 to 1953. His democratically elected government was overthrown in a coup coordinated by American CIA and British MI6 agents. He was renown because of his policy against foreign domination and support for nationalization of the Iranian oil industry, revoking the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, which was imposed on Iran since 1913, exploiting cheap oil and profiting for nearly 40 years.
