Oil Premier Shouldered in Streets - When opposition deputies in the Persian Majli's (lower house) prevented premier Mohammed Mossadeq from speaking because he had no quorum, the prime minister delivered his speech in the Majlis square. Crowds gathered spontaneously and hoisted him shoulder-high. To the left to Mossadeq, bearded and in black turban, is Chams Ghanat Abadi, son-in-law of the Persian Religions leader Seyid Abolghassem Kashan. January 12, 1951. (Photo by Associated Press Photo).
