>During Mohammad Reza's reign, the British owned oil industry was briefly nationalized by Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh until an Army coup d'état supported by the UK and the US deposed Mosaddegh, reinstalled the Shah, and brought back foreign oil firms under the Consortium Agreement of 1954.[5]
Are you trying to imply that this was a bad thing? Because it was unequivocally good for him to nationalize oil. And obviously he isn't a "white dove", but he was still much better than what came after. Again, that you try and defend the Shah is gross af.
