How trusting US backfired on Iran's PM Mosaddegh

August 19, 2023 marks the 70th anniversary of the 1953 coup in Iran, known in the country as the 28 Mordad coup d'état, which was a joint CIA-MI6 operation orchestrated under the name “TPAJAX Project” or “Operation Ajax.”

The coup removed democratically-elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh and returned to power the pro-Western monarch Mohammad Reza Pahlavi who ruled Iran under a dictatorship until the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, led by Imam Khomeini. (Khamenei.ir)
