Changes

'''Mohammed Mossadegh''' (1882-1967) was a member of the Majlis (the [[Iranian]] legislature) from its beginning into the 1950s.  Mossadegh became Prime Minister of [[Iran]] and nationalized the [[Anglo-Iranian Oil Company]]. He had also good relationships to the Communist Tudeh Party. Many believe that Mossadegh was democratically elected, but in fact during this time Iran was not a democracy, but a monarchy, and the election was a fraud. The Shah had the right to appoint and dismiss the prime minister, and while still in power after the election, he asked the CIA to depose him.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/nrd/articles/302213/myths-mossadegh</ref><ref>https://www.thenewamerican.com/component/k2/item/4690-iran-and-the-shah-what-really-happened</ref> Mossadegh even behaved like a dictator himself. He imprisoned thousands of his opponents. Some of Mossadegh´s former allies wrote to the [[United Nations]] to end his dictatorship.<ref name="myths-mossadegh/page/0/1">https://www.nationalreview.com/nrd/articles/302213/myths-mossadegh/page/0/1</ref>

In 1953 Mossadegh was overthrown by CIA agent Kermit Roosevelt, President [[Theodore Roosevelt]]'s grandson. This event was called a "coup", but actually the CIA only reinstated [[Mohammed Reza Pahlavi]], more commonly known as the Shah of Iran, who was the constitutional rightful leader.
