How did the United States affect Iranian Politics?
Iran's leader, Mohammad Mossadegh, wanted to stop British Colonialism in his country so he nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, preventing Britain from taking Iran's resources. The British were very angry and guilt tripped America into helping (Britain lent America a hand in the Korean War). Americas policies and view on the Middle East was severely changed after the Korean War. They thought that Communism was much more of a threat now and building alliances in the Middle East and containing Communism was of top priority. Thus the birth of operation AJAX. The idea was concocted by SIS, but performed by the CIA. This operation savagely eliminated the Mossadegh government. However, this posed as a problem. The population supported and liked Mohammad Mossadegh very much. Then the United States imposed (As seen from the point of view of the Iranians) a puppet; Mohammad Reza Phlavi (The Shah). Everything the Shah did, was seen as U.S. supported. The Shah had a very different political standpoint than Mossadegh. Mossadegh was a "Necktie." A Necktie has western values, democratic and modern ideals; they are also are pro-education. While the Shah was in power he expressed none of these. In fact he was a dictator and his army imposed so many human right issues that the Iranians were fed up. While the Shah was in power he also weakened the neckties so far that when Iran finally stood up and pronounced a revolution. The only people left were the "Turbans." The Turbans are religious and follow old Islamic values. A Turban by the name of Ayatollah Khomeini took power. His ideals were the exact opposite of what America wanted. If the U.S. had never been involved in Iran. Then the Necktie, Mossadegh, would of created the government they were trying to impose on Iran. You can't impose a government on the people if the leader is not supported by the people.
