==Coup and Aftermath== On August 19, 1953, Operation Ajax succeeded in overthrowing Mossadegh. Paid mobs and military units, led by General Fazlollah Zahedi, stormed Tehran, forcing Mossadegh to surrender after initial resistance. • Arrest and Trial: Mossadegh was arrested, tried for treason, and sentenced to three years in prison, followed by house arrest in Ahmadabad, his family estate, until his death. His trial was a public spectacle, where he defended his actions as protecting Iran’s sovereignty. • Post-Coup Iran: The Shah was restored to power, ruling as an authoritarian monarch with U.S. support. The AIOC (rebranded as BP) regained control of Iran’s oil, sharing profits with U.S. companies. The Shah’s regime repressed dissent, fueling resentment that culminated in the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
