The story of IRAN and 'us'... "Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it." (Or something like that).
This BULLSHIT blind AMERICAN nationalism makes ME want to hurt someone!! Everyone on this board SHOULD know this and it sickens me that I feel the need again to explain it, cause I'm betting people here don't know.
Anyone notice on our calendars PEARL HARBOR DAY is still marked on DEC 7? Well, every country has national MEMORIES of TRAUMA. Iran has theirs. And we INFLICTED it along with or at the behest of the BRITS. We likely changed the COURSE of the entire middle-east causing someone (even me) to have to school our own because of our historical ignorance, 65 years later. There are VOLUMES but I'll shorthand it to a few paragraphs like in a high school history--which of course we never included in ours. (I admit I've only known about it a couple of decades BUT did know before WE INVADED Iraq--the last time)
IRANIANS "elected" a Prime Minister, his name was Mohammed MOSSADEGH, by all accounts forward thinking, modern, bright and 'kind'. He wanted to modernize IRAN. He also wanted (dared) to want to 'audit the books' and rewrite contracts with BRITISH PETROLEUM Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. More beneficial to/for Iran (I guess since the oil was THEIRS). BP/Iran couldn't/wouldn't come up with a plan that both would agree to. Iran nationalized ITS oil fields.
The BRITS, perhaps still seeing 'empire', wanted the oil at the price it wanted it. Their INTEL and our CIA devised a plan to overthrow Mossadegh as a result. The plan included Britain going in and SEIZING the oil fields in Iran. That was deemed too disruptive, dangerous by Atlee and Churchill. The plan by both countries included a worldwide BOYCOTT of Iranian oil "to put economic pressure" on them. Simultaneously, they used IRANIAN agents (the "most feared mobs") internally to destabilize and sabotage Mossadegh's government. Mossadegh was overthrown, replaced with a military general until the last in line SHAH (Persian king), "agreeable" to the BRITS, was ensconced. Mossadegh supporters were JAILED or executed. We helped keep the SHAH propped up FOR 26 YEARS until NOV 1979.
NOTE: TRUMAN would NOT approve using our CIA to stage this coup, 'fearing the precedent of covert actions by the US'. Eisenhower approved it in 1953.
NOTE: The Iranians mark the date on their calendar still (I don't if it is the official day he was overthrown, or the date of his death).
NOTE: The CIA just disclosed it's part in this in AUG 2013.

The 1953 Iranian coup d'état, known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup d'état (Persian: کودتای ۲۸ مرداد), was the overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favour of strengthening the monarchical rule of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on 19 August 1953, orchestrated by the United Kingdom (under the name "Operation Boot") and the United States (under the name TPAJAX Project[SUP][5][/SUP] or "Operation Ajax"),[SUP][6][/SUP][SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][8][/SUP][SUP][9][/SUP] and the first United States covert action to overthrow a foreign government during peacetime.[SUP][10][/SUP]
