Mossadegh was a former Qajar aristocrat who was salty about the Qajars being overthrown in 1925. The Qajars were incompetent buffoons who took L after L and Iran didn’t experience any kind of improvement until after Reza Shah overthrow the Qajars.
From that alone, why should I have sympathy for this guy? Any dispute they had with the Pahlavi dynasty was nothing more than inter-royal infighting.

From 1953 to 1979 a whole generation of people changed. It weren’t the same actors in the 50s as in the later 70s.

Ah, yes, the famous coup where MI6 admitted it failed and that the Iranian head of state had to intervene to stop Mossadegh from becoming Trump-lite

The Iranian government is an occupational pseudo government. They are losing control and need a scapegoat for their own shortcomings. My hope is one day the people take back the nation from those colonial occupators

I really hope this comment section is brigaded by Pahlavi fans, otherwise it’s really a disappointment. People have no idea what happened on 1953.
So first off, no, Mosaddegh wasn’t gonna become Trump. That’s literally Pahlavi propaganda. A few weeks before the coup, he abolished the Parliament. Why? Because he suspected that the British were bribing several members of the parliament and thus, were essentially preventing the government from being functional. They were a minority, but a very aggressive and loud one.
According to the constitution, The King could remove the PR from his position in this situation (with the absence of parliament). So in August 16th, at midnight, Colonel Nasiri delivered the dismissal letter from the King to Mosaddegh.
However, the situation was suspicious. The dates were wrong on the letter, it had several misspells and the King was very unlikely to actually do this in that situation, due to the PR’s popularity. So no, Mosaddegh wasn’t unpopular at the time. That’s another lie. Had Mosaddegh been unpopular at the time, the king could just remove him with no need for foreign aid.
Mosaddegh suspected that this letter was not actually from the King. And that’s exactly what had happened. Under the pressure from the British, the King had signed a blank letter and let them write whatever they wanted. So he was right, the letter was basically forged. He arrested Nasiri and several other military members who were collaborating with the British. No one, at first suspected that the King actually had anything to do with this.
Guess what happened next morning? The King escaped from Iran to Baghdad and then Rome. MEANWHILE, MOSADDEGH SENT HIM A MESSAGE TO COME BACK TO IRAN AND CONTINUE HIS RULE. HE TOLD HIS OWN SUPPORTERS TO GO HOME AND STOP PROTESTING AGAINST THE SHAH’S ATTEMPTED COUP. IF HE WAS TAKING POWER FROM THE KING, THEN WHY THE FUCK DID HE DO ANY OF THIS?
Three days later, on 18th, the infamous coup happened and Mosaddegh was deposed and the King came back. So yeah. It was a coup.
As for it’s connections to the 1979 revolution, I’d say it radicalized people (either to the right or to the left). And that radicalization is what led to the King’s ultimate downfall.
