The CIA and MI6 orchestrated the 1953 coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected prime minister β€” documented evidence
🟒 CONFIRMED

In 1953, the CIA (Operation Ajax) and MI6 (Operation Boot) overthrew Iran's democratically elected PM Mohammad Mosaddegh after he nationalized Iran's oil industry. The coup installed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as an authoritarian ruler. The US denied involvement for 60 years until the CIA officially acknowledged the coup in declassified documents released in 2013. This event is considered a root cause of the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
