Mohammad Mossadeq
Mohammad Mossadeq was an influential Iranian politician and a prominent figure in Iran's history, best known for serving as Prime Minister from 1951 to 1953. He is celebrated for his role in the nationalization of the Iranian oil industry, which had been dominated by British interests through the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. His policies were driven by a vision of economic independence and national sovereignty, garnering significant support among the Iranian population. However, his government was overthrown in a CIA-backed coup in 1953, known as Operation Ajax, which restored the monarchy under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Mossadeq's legacy is often associated with the struggle for democracy and the complex relationship between Iran and Western powers.
