Portrayers of a coup in Iran were accused of inserting a false narrative. Now the film has been withdrawn. But the plot thickens.

 Taghi Amirani, presenter and producer of Coup 53, a two-hour feature documentary about the British role in the 1953 Iranian coup d’etat, has suddenly withdrawn it from digital circulation, after its main investigative claims were publicly rejected by the producers of the 1985 television series End of Empire.
