Few events in modern Middle Eastern history have left as deep a scar as the coup of August 1953 that toppled Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh.

For many Iranians, the coup became the symbol of Western betrayal, setting the stage for decades of anti-imperialism and fueling the anger that erupted in the 1979 revolution. The coup was not only a national trauma but also a case study in the collision of empire & oil politics.

In 1908 oil was struck in Khuzestan, and soon, (APOC, later Anglo-Iranian, today BP) was formed. During World War I and beyond, British interests in Iranian oil became strategic: the Royal Navy had converted its fleet from coal to oil, and APOC provided the supply.

The terms of the concession were notoriously exploitative. Iran received only a small royalty while APOC reaped immense profits.

When Reza Khan seized power in 1921 and became Reza Shah in 1925, he sought to modernize Iran and renegotiate the oil terms. In 1933 he signed a new concession with APOC, which provided somewhat better royalties but extended British control for another 60 years. Nationalists saw this as another betrayal.

Mohammad Mosaddegh (1882–1967) was an aristocratic landowner, educated in Europe, and a passionate constitutionalist. He entered politics during the constitutional movement and became known for his integrity and nationalism. By the late 1940s he had emerged as leader of the National Front, a coalition of nationalists, intellectuals, and bazaar merchants.

Mosaddegh’s central demand was simple: Iran must control its own oil. In 1951, amid mounting anger at Anglo-Iranian’s monopoly, the Majles (parliament) voted to nationalize the oil industry. Mosaddegh became prime minister and implemented the law. For many Iranians, this was a moment of pride and sovereignty restored. Crowds chanted his name, and he became a national hero.

Britain reacted furiously. The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company lost its most valuable asset. London imposed a global boycott of Iranian oil, froze assets, and took the case to the International Court of Justice. The ICJ, however, ruled in 1952 that it had no jurisdiction.

By 1952–53, as the Cold War intensified, the balance shifted. Winston Churchill’s government lobbied President Eisenhower to intervene. With the Korean War still fresh and Stalin’s shadow looming, the Eisenhower administration became convinced that Mosaddegh might eventually tilt toward the Soviets.

Britain, desperate to preserve its declining Middle Eastern empire, persuaded Washington by framing the crisis as part of the global contest with Moscow.

The CIA, under Allen Dulles, and MI6 together devised a plan: Operation Ajax. Its aim was to depose Mosaddegh and strengthen the Shah. Kermit Roosevelt, a grandson of Theodore Roosevelt, was chosen to lead the covert operation in Tehran.

The plan involved propaganda, political manipulation, and street action. CIA and MI6 operatives funded opposition newspapers, spread disinformation, and bribed politicians, clerics, and military officers. They portrayed Mosaddegh as a communist sympathizer and a threat to Islam.

This is the second dumbest take the DNC has sent out in mass email for yall to regurgitate. The first one is “Trumps War”.

Ike overthrowing the elected Mossadegeh, thanks to Kermit Rooosevelt III caused all of this.

No…. This is the CIA’s Mess.

This is the correct answer.

Dude,for once just own this shite. Stop deflecting and misplacing blame on someone or something else.

The “ Israel’s War” crowd is scrambling so hard to fit their square peg into the round hole, maniacally forgetting everything we know about Iran’s conduct over a half century ago- the marine barracks , the hostages, the CIA station chief, the IED war in Iraq, on and on.

At this point it’s clinical.

Had the CIA left Iran alone, and hadn’t raped iran’s oil for Britain & American use, radicalism in Iran would never had incurred.
