TEHRAN The house of Dr. Mohammad Mosaddeq, which dates back to the Qajar Dynasty, was registered as a national monument with the registration number 2943. The house is located in Ahmadabad village near Savojbolagh city.

According to the Cultural Heritage Organization, the house is a two-storey building made of brick with a number of balconies, simple rooms, and wooden doors.

Dr. Mohammad Mosaddeq was born in Tehran in 1882. He left for Paris in 1908 and received his doctorate in law from a Swiss university and then returned to Iran in 1914.

Since Dr. Mosaddeq was against the 1919 treaty between Iran and Britain, he left Iran again for Europe in 1919. But Moshir-ud-Dolleh invited him to join his cabinet as justice minister later in 1919.

He was appointed as foreign minister in 1923 and entered the National Consultative Assembly (Majlis) in 1924. He later opposed handing over the kingdom to Sardar Sepah. Finally, he left politics and went to Ahmadabad village near Savojbolagh.

After the events of 1941 and during the 14th and 16th Majlis, he became a Tehran representative in the National Consultative Assembly (Majlis), and with the formation of the National Front, he tried to restore the rights of the Iranian nation from the Iran-Britain Oil Company and the British government.

In 1950 he campaigned for the approval of the bill to nationalize the oil industry in the Senate and the Majlis and in 1951 he was appointed as Iran's prime minister.

In 1952, Mohammadreza Pahlavi dismissed him and appointed Ghavam-ul-Saltaneh as prime minister.

Dr. Mosaddeq was reappointed prime minister in the same year, but in 1953, after a coup by the CIA and agents of the Pahlavi regime, he and some of his colleagues were arrested and imprisoned. He was later sent to Ahmadabad village where he died in 1956 and was buried in the yard of his own house.
