===Iran 1953===
The CIA’s Operation Ajax removed Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh to protect Western oil interests. AIG’s Middle Eastern operations, though nascent, provided a financial foothold that could have supported CIA logistics, though evidence is circumstantial.

AIG’s role in these coups would likely have been indirect, providing financial infrastructure rather than operational support. Its offshore banks and reinsurance companies, like Coral, were ideal for moving untraceable funds, a tactic the CIA used extensively in covert operations.
