Operation Ajax, conducted in 1953, resulted in the reinstatement of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi as the Shah of Iran. This covert operation, orchestrated by the CIA and British intelligence, aimed to overthrow the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh, who had nationalized the Iranian oil industry. Following the operation, the Shah consolidated power, leading to decades of autocratic rule until the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
