“We Will Be
Destroyed And All
World With Us”
TEHRAN, Iran, (/P) — Hussein
Maki, right-hand man of Nation
alist Premier Mohammed Mossa
degh, said Iran either will achieve
here goal of nationalization of oil
or “we will be destroyed aijd all
the world with us.”
This statement — described as

Mossadegh’s group—was given to
reporters shortly after the pre

the Senate the text of President
Truman’s letter urging Iran to try
to settle peacefully the explosive
British-Iranian oil dispute.
A senator who was present at
the secret session termed Presi
dent Truman’s message to Iran
“very strong.” Reliable sources
say he expressed “great concern”
over the oil crisis and urged Iran
to negotiate with Britain on the
basis of the principle of national
ization.
(The President also sent a let
ter to Prime Minister Attlee. Lon
don informants said he urged the
British to try to satisfy some of
Iran’s demands in the dispute and
work toward a settlement.)
