1953 Iranian coup d'etat (15 Aug 1953 Jahr – 19 Aug 1953 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

-The coup was supported by the US and the UK and removed Mohammad Mosaddegh from power and restored Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi
-In the covert mission known as Operation Ajax, CIA-funded agents harassed religious and political leaders and staged a media disinformation campaign
-About 300 died during the fighting in Tehran
-This likely increased tensions because it showed that the US was serious about stopping the spread of communism
