You always believe in urban legends and leftist distorted mythology. This a small lesson in factual history that will do you good Mosadegh was never elected democratically to lead Iran. He was appointed PM by the Shah as a consensus appointee. When all political parties in Iran including Mosadegh's own turned against him the Shah asked him to step down. Mosadegh refused and contacted the Soviet Union to intervene in Iran. Large demonstrations ensued in Tehran against Mosadegh and everything was in turmoil. At this point the Shah requested American and British help and they finally got rid of the unelected Mosadegh.

"The plot, known as Operation Ajax, centered on convincing Iran's monarch to issue a decree to dismiss Mossadegh from office, as he had attempted some months earlier. But the Shah was terrified to attempt such a dangerously unpopular and legally questionable move, and it would take much persuasion and many U.S. funded meetings, which included bribing his sister Ashraf with a mink coat and money, to successfully change his mind."
