A report published by Amar Desh Online on August 20, 2026 examines the United States’ long record of attempts to influence or change governments abroad, focusing on Iran and interventions in the Middle East and Latin America. It says US-CIA and British action removed Iran’s elected prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953 and restored Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, following conflict over oil-industry nationalisation.
The report says the Shah’s authoritarian rule later fuelled public anger and Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, turning Iran from a close US ally into a principal rival. It also cites tensions involving the Iran-Iraq war, sanctions, Iran’s nuclear programme and Iran-backed armed groups. The United States left the 2015 nuclear agreement in 2018 and reimposed sanctions, while Iran later began enriching uranium beyond the deal’s limits.
It describes mixed outcomes in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, and cites allegations of US-backed interventions in Guatemala, Brazil and Chile during the Cold War. Analysts say removing a government can be easier than controlling the political consequences, urging Washington to distinguish between addressing military or nuclear capabilities and seeking to alter a country’s political system.
