Original Note:
Mohammad Mosaddegh was neither a democrat nor democratically elected. The CIA played a trivial role, if any, in his overthrow. The Shah did not run a "brutal police state", and certainly not compared to the current regime or any other regional regime at the time. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/israel-middle-east/articles/cia-coup-in-iran-that-never-was-mossadegh https://www.commentary.org/articles/ray-takeyh/iran-1953-coup-america/ https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250304858/thefallofheaven
