Farhad Aish plays Mohammad Mosaddeq in “Mosaddeq’s Night Reports” by director/writer Asghar Khalili at Tehran’s Vahdat Hall on July 23, 2016. The play chronicles the efforts made by the former prime minister to nationalize the oil industry in 1951, which were nullified by the CIA coup d’état against the national icon in August 1953.
