US has toppled an Iranian regime in the past: Here's what happened then and how it backfired

The 1953 Iranian coup backed by the US and UK that overthrew Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. His move to nationalise Iran’s oil was seen as a threat to Western interests, leading to a CIA- and MI6-led operation that reinstalled the Shah.

 

A history of intervention: The 1953 Iran coup

 

The most significant example of foreign interference occurred in 1953, when the United States and the United Kingdom orchestrated a coup to remove Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh. Mossadegh had moved to nationalise Iran’s oil industry, challenging the control of Western companies. In response, the CIA and British Secret Intelligence Service launched Operation Ajax, a covert mission to depose him.

 

The coup succeeded, reinstating Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and ending Iran's brief experiment with democracy. The US and UK regained access to Iranian oil, and the Shah became a close Western ally. However, he ruled autocratically and used a secret police force, SAVAK, to suppress dissent. This period fostered widespread resentment towards the West, especially the United States, for its role in undermining Iranian sovereignty.
