In 1953, the CIA (Operation TPAJAX) and MI6 (Operation Boot) orchestrated the overthrow of Iranian PM Mohammad Mossadegh after he nationalized Iran's oil industry. The CIA hired Tehran mobsters to stage pro-Shah riots, bombed a Muslim cleric's house while posing as communists, and bribed journalists and politicians. The coup installed Shah Pahlavi's autocracy for 26 years. The CIA denied involvement for decades until declassifying documents in 2013 and releasing 1,000 pages in 2017 confirming every detail.
