The British also operated agents inside the Tudeh Party [pro-communist] and were involved in organising “false flag” attacks on mosques and public figures in the party’s name. CIA officer Richard Cottam later observed that the British “saw the opportunity and sent the people we had under our control into the streets to act as if they were Tudeh. They were more than just provocateurs, they were shock troops, who acted as if they were Tudeh people throwing rocks at mosques and priests.”
