Possible caption: Soldiers surround the Parliament building in Tehran. Presumably on August 19, 1953 (gov't overthrow), but since the temperature in Tehran in August is extremely hot, the winter coats in this photo make this date unlikely.

The above paragraph about temperatures in Tehran being "extremely hot" in summer is speculation.

The picture is accurate. If you take a closer look at other pictures of the 28 Mordad incident, you will see that all personnel are wearing full uniforms [1][2] and full suits [3] and even trenchcoats [4]. These uniforms [5] were not fasli (seasonal) and were fixed. My grandfather was also a colonel of the Shah's Army. I remember him with only one uniform. Keep in mind that the weather patterns of those days were not exactly the same as those of today. When I was a kid, it would snow in Shiraz and the river was full. Now it routinely hits 100 degrees every summer, and the river has completely dried up. And yet Tehran still only maximzes at 36 degrees in August [6]. And it is never humid. In fact Tehran will be 95 on saturday June 24 2006, whereas it will be 98 in most of the south half of the continental USA, according to weather.com. --Zereshk 00:24, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
