Summary

The documents reveal the deep involvement of the USA and the United Kingdom in internal Iranian politics before the 1953 coup – especially in attempts to water down nationalization, to replace Mossadeq with a more compliant prime minister, resulting in the July 1952 uprising, and to prevent the shah from leaving Iran in early 1953. The shah later thanked the USA for having saved the monarchy in February 1953.
