In 1953, Iran experienced a significant political upheaval when the CIA, in collaboration with British intelligence, orchestrated a coup to overthrow Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. Mossadegh had nationalized the Iranian oil industry, which threatened Western oil interests. The coup, known as Operation Ajax, reinstated the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, strengthening his authoritarian rule and leading to widespread discontent that contributed to the 1979 Iranian Revolution. This event significantly impacted U.S.-Iran relations and shaped regional politics in the Middle East for decades.
