The Honorable Caligula's video: 1953 Iranian coup d tat

"Mosaddeq came to power in Iran in 1951 when he was selected as premier. Mosaddeq was an extreme nationalist; he instantly began attacks on the British oil companies operating in Iran, calling for taking the British’s property, claiming it was for the purpose of public interest and nationalization of the oil fields. Mosaddeq’s actions caused conflict with the pro-western elites of Iran and the Shah, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi."
