Former Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq (C)

The 1953 Iranian coup d’etat was the overthrow of the Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq in favor of strengthening the monarchical rule of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on August 19 of that year.

The 1953 Iranian coup was orchestrated by the United Kingdom and the United States. Mosaddeq had earlier nationalized the Iranian oil industry and expelled the foreign corporate representatives from the country.
