Mohamed Mossadegh became PM of Iran in 1951, he had a plan on how he was going to help Iran achieve self-sufficiency and prosperity by nationalising Iran’s immensely profitable oil industry. But the Western interests he cut out were never going to just accept this. So the British and Americans set about to undermine Mossadegh and re-establish the old status quo in Operation Ajax. The subsequent blowback from the 1953 Coup made America deeply unpopular with wide segments of Iranian society; and consequently established a reputation of the USA to be untrustworthy, tyrannical and dangerous throughout various Middle Eastern societies as they saw their own nations fall prey to America’s aggressive foreign policy in the Cold War milieu.
