In early April of the party unleashed nationwide strikes and riots in protest against delays in nationalization of the oil industry along with low wages and bad housing in oil industry. This display of strength, along with public celebration at the assassination of General Razmara made an impact on the deputies of the Majlis. On April 28, , the Majlis named Mosaddeq as new prime minister by a vote of 79— On May 1, Mosaddeq nationalized the AIOC, cancelling its oil concession due to expire in and expropriating its assets.

The next month a committee of five majlis deputies was sent to Khuzistan to enforce the nationalization. With the oil revenues we could meet our entire budget and combat poverty, disease, and backwardness among our people. Another important consideration is that by the elimination of the power of the British company, we would also eliminate corruption and intrigue, by means of which the internal affairs of our country have been influenced.

Once this tutelage has ceased, Iran will have achieved its economic and political independence. The Iranian state prefers to take over the production of petroleum itself. The company should do nothing else but return its property to the rightful owners. It has been asserted abroad that Iran intends to expel the foreign oil experts from the country and then shut down oil installations.

Not only is this allegation absurd; it is utter invention… [20]. In July, Mossadeq broke off negotiations with AIOC after it threatened "to pull out its employees," and told owners of oil tanker ships that "receipts from the Iranian government would not be accepted on the world market. Under nationalized management many refineries lacked properly the trained technicians that were needed to continue production.

The British government announced a de facto blockade and reinforced its naval force in the Gulf and lodged complaints against Iran before the United Nations Security Council. The British government also threatened legal action against purchasers of oil produced in the formerly British-controlled refineries and obtained an agreement with its sister international oil companies not to fill in where the AIOC was boycotting Iran.

The AIOC withdrew its technicians from the refineries and the entire Iranian oil industry came to a "virtual standstill," oil production dropping from At the same time BP and Aramco doubled their production in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq, to make up for lost production in Iran so that no hardship was felt in Britain. Still enormously popular in late , Mosaddeq called elections.

His base of support was in urban areas and not in the provinces. The 17th Majlis convened in February According to historian Ervand Abrahamian, tension escalated in the Majlis also. Conservative opponents refused to grant Mosaddeq special powers to deal with the economic crisis caused by the sharp drop in revenue and voiced regional grievances against the capital Tehran, while the National Front waged "a propaganda war against the landed upper class.

On July 16, , during the royal approval of his new cabinet, Mosaddeq insisted on the constitutional prerogative of the prime minister to name a Minister of War and the Chief of Staff, something Shah Pahlavi had done hitherto. The Shah refused, and Mosaddeq announced his resignation appealing directly to the public for support, pronouncing that "in the present situation, the struggle started by the Iranian people cannot be brought to a victorious conclusion.

The National Front—along with various Nationalist, Islamist, and socialist parties and groups [23] —including Tudeh—responded by calling for protests, strikes and mass demonstrations in favor of Mossadeq.
