LOL! What part of the overthrow of the shah by Mosaddeq don't you understand? What part of the Shah appointing Mosaddeq Prime Minister & later dismissing him don't you understand? Mosaddeq was not democratically elected Prime Minister. He was appointed by the Shah. He overthrew the Shah & within days he was overthrown & the Shah resumed power. And I'm supposed to buy into all of your alleged fact filled conspiracies. LOL! In April 1951, the Shah yielded to Majles pressure and demonstrations in the streets by naming Mossadeq prime minister. <NOT DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED> Mossadeq had come to office on the strength of support from the National Front and other parties in the Majles and as a result of his great popularity <NOT DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED>. His popularity, growing power, and intransigence on the oil issue were creating friction between the prime minister and the Shah. In the summer of 1952, the Shah refused the prime minister's demand for the power to appoint the minister of war (and, by implication, to control the armed forces). Mossadegh resigned, three days of pro-Mossadegh rioting followed, and the Shah was forced to reappoint Mossadegh to head the government <NOT DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED>. Message 18871647 A while later, the Majlis <NOT THE PEOPLE OF IRAN> elected Mossadegh as the new Prime Minister. When Mossadegh became Premier in 1951 <but not democratically elected>, the first thing he did after introducing his cabinet, was the enforcement of the Oil Nationalization Bill. On August 16, 1953, the Shah <the current leader of Iran> dismissed Dr. Mossadegh. Message 18871609 The Shah brought into the parliament a European-educated lawyer named Mohammed Mossadegh....... In 1951, the parliament voted to nationalize the oil, and the popular Mossadegh was named prime minister <NOT ELECTED>..... ....The coup marked the first time the U.S. helped to directly overthrow a democratic-oriented government....
