This question confuses two different times of the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's ascension to power. in 1940, the UK and USSR jointly sponsored a coup d'etat which forcibly dethroned Shah Reza Pahlavi, in favor of his son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, in order to secure the right to freely transport petroleum and other goods across Iranian soil. In 1951, the Shah was substantially weakened in his power through acts of Majlis (Parliament) and specifically Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. In 1953, the US CIA and British MI6 launched a coup d'etat to restore the Shah's authoritarian rule to where it had been in the 1940s.
