CIA publicly acknowledges 1953 coup it backed in Iran was undemocratic_我的网站

一 | DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- While revealing new details about one of the most famed CIA operations of all times — the spiriting out of six American diplomats who escaped the 1979 U.S. Embassy seizure in Iran — the intelligence agency for the first time has acknowledged something else as well.The CIA now officially describes the 1953 coup it backed in Iran that overthrew its prime minister and cemented the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as undemocratic.Other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, but the CIA's acknowledgment in a podcast about the agency's history comes as much of its official history of the coup remains classified 70 years after the putsch. That complicates the public's understanding of an event that still resonates, as tensions remain high between Tehran and Washington over the Islamic Republic's rapidly advancing nuclear program, its aiding of militia groups across the Mideast and as it cracks down on dissent. The “CIA’s leadership is committed to being as open with the public as possible," the agency said in a statement responding to questions from The Associated Press. "The agency’s podcast is part of that effort — and we knew that if we wanted to tell this incredible story, it was important to be transparent about the historical context surrounding these events, and CIA’s role in it.”In response to questions from the AP, Iran's mission to the United Nations described the 1953 coup as marking “the inception of relentless American meddling in Iran’s internal affairs” and dismissed the U.S. acknowledgments.“The U.S. admission never translated into compensatory action or a genuine commitment to refrain from future interference, nor did it change its subversive policy towards the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the mission said in a statement. The CIA's podcast, called “The Langley Files” as its headquarters is based in Langley, Virginia, focused two recent episodes on the story of the six American diplomats' escape. While hiding at the home of the Canadian ambassador to Iran, a two-man CIA team entered Tehran and helped them fly out of the country while pretending to be members of a crew scouting for a made-up science fiction film.The caper, retold in the 2012 Academy Award-winning film “Argo” directed by and starring Ben Affleck, offered a dramatized version of the operation, with Affleck playing the late CIA officer Antonio “Tony” Mendez. The podcast for the first time identified the second CIA officer who accompanied Mendez, naming him as agency linguist and exfiltration specialist Ed Johnson. He previously only had been known publicly by the pseudonym “Julio.”“Working with the six — these are rookies," Johnson recounts in an interview aired by the podcast. "They were people who were not trained to lie to authorities. They weren’t trained to be clandestine, elusive.” But in the podcast, another brief exchange focuses on the 1953 coup.In it, CIA spokesman and podcast host Walter Trosin cites the claims of agency historians that the majority of the CIA’s clandestine activities in its history “bolstered” popularly elected governments.“We should acknowledge, though, that this is, therefore, a really significant exception to that rule,” Trosin says of the 1953 coup.CIA historian Brent Geary, appearing on the podcast, agrees.“This is one of the exceptions to that," Geary says.Seven decades later, the 1953 coup remains as hotly debated as ever by Iran, its theocratic government, historians and others. Iran's hard-line state television spent hours discussing the coup that toppled Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh on its anniversary in June. In their telling, a straight line leads from the coup to the 1979 Islamic Revolution that ultimately toppled the fatally ill shah. It still fuels the anti-Americanism that colors decisions made by the theocracy, whether in arming Russia in its war on Ukraine or alleging without evidence that Washington fomented the recent nationwide mass protests targeting it. From the U.S. side, the CIA's hand in the coup quickly was revealed as a success of Cold War espionage, though historians in recent years have debated just how much influence the agency's actions had. It also led the CIA into a series of further coups in other countries, including Guatemala, where American clandestine action in 1954 installed a military dictator and sparked a 40-year civil war that likely killed some 245,000 people.That's led to an American political reappraisal of the 1953 CIA action in Iran. Then-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright acknowledged the U.S.' "significant role" in the coup in 2000. President Barack Obama, speaking in Cairo in 2009, described the CIA's work as leading to the “overthrow of a democratically elected Iranian government.” But largely absent from the discussion was the CIA itself. After years of conflicting versions of the coup both in public and classified papers, a member of the CIA's own in-house team of historians wrote a reappraisal of the operation in a 1998 paper titled “Zendebad, Shah!” in Farsi — or “Long Live the Shah!”But despite a series of American historical documents being made public, including a major tranche of State Department papers in 2017, large portions of that CIA reappraisal remain heavily redacted despite attempts to legally pry them loose by the George Washington University-based National Security Archive. That's even after pledges by former agency directors Robert Gates and James Woolsey Jr. in the 1990s to release documents from that coup and others engineered by the agency. Further complicating any historical reckoning is the CIA's own admission that many files related to the 1953 coup likely had been destroyed in the 1960s.“It’s wrong to suggest that the coup operation itself has been fully declassified. Far from it," said Malcolm Byrne of the National Security Archive. "Important parts of the record are still being withheld, which only contributes to public confusion and encourages myth-making about the U.S. role long after the fact.”。 北京8月24日电 (陈昊星)在AI时代,IPv6(互联网协议第6版)的重要性更加凸显。

二 | 近日,在第五届互联网基础资源高质量发展会议上,中国工程院院士邬贺铨作题为《面向智能体的互联网基础资源》的主题演讲。他认为,面对AI和智能体兴起的考验,互联网基础资源技术创新正当时。8月24日,北京,中国工程院院士邬贺铨发表《面向智能体的互联网基础资源》主题演讲 受访者供图 什么是互联网基础资源?是指直接服务互联网寻址、路由、域名解析、网络身份识别,需要全网互通、全网统一分配、全网唯一、不能冲突的数字资源,包括IP地址、AS自治系统号、域名、端口号和协议参数资源等,当前我们重点关注的,主要还是IP地址、域名等。

三 | 在邬贺铨看来,建设适应智能体的域名与解析体系和进一步开发互联网基础资源能力非常重要。互联网基础资源的设置和衡量,需要综合考虑唯一性、公平性、安全性、便捷性和可扩展性等多重因素。 在互联网基础资源的组织方式上,无论是中心化层级制还是去中心化的联盟制,都可以实现资源的全网唯一,两者各有优缺点。前者发展较为成熟,已有较完善的生态体系,并占据先发优势,但资源相对集中,在安全性和公平性方面仍存在进一步完善的空间。 随着IPv6单栈加IPv4aaS的发展,互联网基础资源也面临新的需求,这同样意味着新的创新空间。互联网基础资源仍蕴藏着巨大的潜力,其功能有待进一步开发,以更好适应AI和智能体应用的发展。 由于历史原因,中国在互联网基础资源获取方面通常处于相对被动的位置。因此,有必要更加重视构建全球互联网基础资源公平、合理分配的生态。

四 | 面对AI和智能体兴起带来的新考验,互联网基础资源技术创新正当其时。这既是互联网基础资源能力进一步释放的重要契机,也是中国参与乃至有望引领互联网底层技术创新的一次难得机遇。
