Local Editor
Iran's Foreign Ministry stated that the freshly declassified documents on the CIA role in the 1953 coup against a democratically-elected Iranian government was nothing new.
During his weekly press briefing on Tuesday, Abbas Araqchi remarked that the release of the recent documents 60 years after the coup "neither adds anything new to what we already knew, nor does it lessen the American crimes."
On Monday, the CIA published a document, which officially conformed for the first time Washington's role in the 1953 coup d'état against the administration of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq.
