The U.S. intervened in Iran in the 1950s primarily to protect its strategic interests in the region and to counter perceived Soviet influence during the Cold War. Concerned about the nationalization of the Iranian oil industry under Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh, the U.S. orchestrated a coup in 1953, known as Operation Ajax, to reinstate the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. This intervention aimed to ensure stable access to oil resources and maintain a pro-Western government in Iran. Ultimately, this action contributed to long-term political instability in the region.
