The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company was the oil company that had a virtual monopoly on Iranian oil fields until the industry was nationalized in the early 1950s. After the overthrow of Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeq by the CIA and the SAS (Britain) in 1953 in direct response to the nationalization, the amount of oil companies operating in Iran increased. The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company still exists today as BP.
