YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Many Americans don’t know this history.

In 1953, the United States and Britain helped overthrow Iran’s democratic government in a CIA operation known as Operation Ajax, installing the Shah and reshaping the country’s future.

Dean Obeidallah explains how that decision helped set the stage for the Iranian revolution — and why the legacy still shapes the conflict today.
