The US assisted Muhammad Reza Pahlavi Shah come to power in 1953 after he had been forced out in 1951.
In 1953, the CIA launched a coup d'état in Iran, called Operation Ajax. which re-installed the Shah of Iran after he had been forced out in 1951. The US and UK both knew that Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddegh would nationalize the oil fields in Iran, which would have huge economic ramifications for the UK, and feared that he would create an alliance with the Soviet Union since he was very amenable to Iranian Communists and their political views. As a result, the US and UK both preferred the strongly Western-aligned Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi and instigated the coup that put him in power. The policy was negative, not only for the citizens of Iran who were subjected to numerous human rights abuses post-replacement, but also for the US which alienated the Iranian people in the long-term and was unable to seriously halt the growth of communism.
