  "content": "On this day in 1953, the CIA \u0026 MI6 orchestrated the coup against Iran’s democratically-elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddegh. \n\nMosaddegh had pursued nationalist policies and was widely-popular, having nationalised Iran’s oil to stop British exploitation of Iran’s natural resources. Winston Churchill considered Iranian oil to be Britain’s. \n\nUSA like democrazy only when CIA gets to pick the candidate like in Colombia , Peru and other places currently\n\nAfter the coup, Iran’s oil was once again privatized and divided up among the UK, US, and some European countries through a new oil consortium in 1954. 40% of the shares went to the British oil company BP. 5 American oil companies had significant stakes in the consortium. \n\nThe dictatorship of Pahlavi, enforced by the ruthless SAVAK, for Western oil companies to steal Iran’s oil, triggered such anger among the Iranian population that it led to the revolution in 1979, which gave birth to the Islamic Republic of Iran.\nhttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/HQGwVFEXQAAHyk0.jpg print pressitute 73 years ago",
