CIA Acknowledges 1953 Iran Coup for the First Time
Revealing New Details of a Famed Operation
Uncovering a Blueprint for Covert Actions
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has finally acknowledged its role in the 1953 coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh. This unprecedented disclosure sheds new light on one of the most infamous CIA operations of all time and provides insight into the agency's covert actions.
Codenamed TP-Ajax, the operation was meticulously planned and executed, utilizing a combination of bribery, propaganda, and military force. The CIA's involvement had long been suspected but never officially confirmed until now.
The agency's acknowledgment is particularly noteworthy given the CIA's traditionally secretive nature. However, the passage of time and the declassification of documents have made it possible to piece together a more complete understanding of the operation's details.
