Liam O'Mara IV, PhDOn #ThisDayInHistory in 1953, the Eisenhower administration, in CIA #OperationAjax, overthrew the democratic government of #Iran for daring to nationalize their oil. The US felt corporate profits beat human rights, and propped up the Shah's vicious rule for the next 25 years.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1953, the CIA concluded #OperationAjax, a few days of intensive effort in #Iran to overthrow the elected government of #Mosaddegh and replace it with a violent absolute monarchy. The US spent the next 25 years propping it up with weapons & SAVAK torturers.
Antti Peltola ⁂Anyone who wonders how Iran became what it is today is due to blowback on Western foreign policy.
When democratically elected Prime Minister Mosaddegh said he would nationalise Iran's oil reserves CIA launched Operation Ajax to overthrow Mosaddegh government to install Western backed authoritarian puppet regime of Reza Pahlavi:
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1953, the #CIA's #OperationAjax concluded with the toppling of #Mossadegh's elected government in #Iran, beginning 25 years of brutal dictatorship under #MohammedRezaShah and his American backers. The US has not been a force for peace or good in the world.
