The devious Brits sulking from the "Anglo-Iranian oil" nationalization were the usual culprits behind this disastrous coup without analyzing the long-term strategic impact on Iran's future and the region. This idiotic colonel Zahedi sealed the Shah's fate who could have survived as as constitutional monarch without the coup. The bloodshed and illegal removal (similar to Morsi in Egypt)of Dr. Mossedegh set in motion the path to the Islamic takeover in 1979. The CIA morons always sow the seeds of their own destruction from wiretapping to ill-advised coups.
