Operation Ajax, also known as the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, was a covert operation orchestrated by the United States' CIA and the UK's MI6 to overthrow the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran, Mohammad Mosaddegh, in August 1953. The operation aimed to restore the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, to power and ensure Western influence in Iran, particularly regarding its oil resources.

      Nothing says “democratic” like taking over power in a coup and calling yourself a shah. 

    2. I don’t see this working out. The Iranians overthrew the last shah.

      This is like the European Monarchy re-establishing the Bourbon Monarchy after Napoleon.
