Continuing our series on the 1979 Iranian Revolution, we come to the premiership of Mohammad Mosaddegh and the US/UK-arranged coup that removed him from power and remains an indelible symbol of Western meddling in Iranian affairs. This episode is a little longer than usual but I didn't want to lengthen the series by turning it into a two-parter. Enjoy!
