The only thing that is pathetic and gross is your misrepresentation of there being a "democratically elected government".
Mosaddegh manipulated elections to suit his needs:
The voting process was stopped by Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh after enough MPs were elected to form a parliamentary quorum (79 out of 136).[2] The decision is viewed as manipulation, because Mosaddegh meant to prevent opposition candidates taking seats from rural areas.[3
Hardly an icon of democracy...
Also, although I deeply disagree with rule by royalty, the house of Pahlavi were the legitimate rulers of Iran.
Mohammad Reza came to power during World War II after an Anglo-Soviet invasion forced the abdication of his father, Reza Shah Pahlavi.
Also, Reza was Shah while Mosaddegh was prime Minister. Mossadeh took power for his own purposes
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]
Nobody was a white dove dude. Everyone likes to idolize these figures like they were great men. They were just as flawed and sometimes corrupt as today's politicians. Get your head out of your butt.
