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)
