    Mohammad Mosaddegh (Persian: محمد مصدق, IPA: [mohæmˈmæd(-e) mosædˈdeɢ] ⓘ; 16 June 1882 – 5 March 1967) was an Iranian politician, author, and lawyer who served as the 30th Prime Minister of Iran from 1951 to 1953, elected by the 16th Majlis. He was a member of the Iranian parliament from 1923, and served through a contentious 1952 election into the 17th Iranian Majlis, until his government was overthrown in the 1953 Iran coup aided by the intelligence agencies of the United Kingdom (MI6) and the United States (CIA), led by Kermit Roosevelt Jr.

    In his place, they installed the brutal regime of the Shah. Obviously when you have external influence hindering progress like that the backlash is often strong men and autocracies as are more resistant to such meddling.

    If you want we can continue with how the US government went on to help and fun the Iraq/Iran war following the, unfortunately theocratic, revolution.
