1953 CIA Coup on History Channel
Sunday , October 29, 2000, 10:00 PM-12:00 AM, History Channel (U.S.): "Anatomy of a Coup: The CIA in Iran" -- In 1953, a military-backed coup overthrew Iran's elected Prime Minister, Mohammed Mossadegh, and returned the Shah Reza Pahlavi to power. The U.S. role was an open, if never officially acknowledged, secret. Now the CIA's own, still classified history of the operation has come to light. It reveals how the CIA and British Intelligence conspired to initiate and plan the coup to maintain control over Iranian oil. CIA agents, family members, and historians tell how the CIA plotted its first successful coup.

Perhaps the most general conclusion that can be drawn from these documents is that the CIA extensively stage-managed the entire coup, not only carrying it out but also preparing the groundwork for it by subordinating various important Iranian political actors and using propaganda and other instruments to influence public opinion against Mossadeq.
