Lesson Plan: Operation Ajax and the C.I.A. in the Cold War
Grades 9-12
C.I.A. activity has cast a long shadow over relations between the United States and Iran. In 1953, the agency helped to orchestrate a coup that ousted Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh, who was viewed as a threat to Western oil interests. The plot, known as Operation Ajax, restored Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, a U.S. ally during the Cold War, to power.
