Tofigh Yearbook

Tawfiq's policy in the 1320s was anti-colonial, which continued in the following years. This orientation of Tawfiq was included in the left press. In 1329, the term of Prime Minister Haji Ali Razmara was on the list of Tawfiq police officers in the left-leaning press jirga, which the government sought to prevent from being published.  Tawfiq supported the nationalization of oil and The nationalization of fisheries continued to criticize governments. Tawfiq avoided clashes with the court, but in the midst of the events that led to the coup d'état of August 19, 1943, in an article entitled "Russian sedition", he sharply criticized Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Mohammad Ali Tawfiq was outraged by this extremism and on August 19, 1943, the office of Tawfiq and his house were looted and he himself was exiled to the castle of Falak al-Aflak in Khorramabad and Khark Island. The coup published a list of newspapers that were allowed to operate, but did not include the name of Tawfiq magazine (Kouhestani Nejad, p. 89). Thus, the publication of Tawfiq was stopped for four years and seven months until the end of 1336 AD.
