Iran parliament votes to nationalize British oil fields

The transcript discusses the international crisis centered in Abadan, Iran, where Iran's parliament voted to nationalize oil fields leased by the British government. These fields are crucial as they supply a third of Britain's oil. Russia, Iran's neighbor, also has interests in these resources. The stakes are high, leading to the assassination of Iran's premier, Eliraz Muller, who opposed nationalization. A potential Soviet victory looms if oil flow to the West is disrupted, which can only be avoided if Iran's parliament reverses its decision within two months.
