How Britain Nearly Broke the Global Economy to Seize Iran’s Oil | Economic Warfare

Описание: This documentary explores economic warfare — how a bankrupt British Empire seized Iran’s oil wealth to survive after World War II.

The 1953 Iranian Coup is often explained as a Cold War operation to stop communism. The financial reality was far simpler: Britain was broke, and Iranian oil was its last remaining lifeline.

This video examines how Britain used an unbalanced oil concession to extract Iran’s wealth for decades, while manipulating profits to keep Iran dependent and impoverished. As Britain rebuilt its economy with Iranian oil revenues, Iran received only a fraction of the value taken from its own resources.

When Iran moved to reclaim its oil industry, Britain faced financial collapse. Unable to afford a war, London turned to covert action, convincing the United States to help overthrow a democratically elected government in order to protect the British Pound and imperial finances.

This was not a military conquest. It was economic warfare — fought through oil, debt, and financial desperation — and it permanently reshaped the Middle East.
This channel explores economic warfare — how empires collapsed through money, debt, and financial weapons.
