Cold War #266 - The First Attempt

from A COLD WAR · host Cameron Reilly & Ray Harris

It's the middle of 1953, and the CIA is ready to execute their coup against the democratically elected government of Iran. The plan? Spend a bucket load of money hiring thugs to cause riots in the streets. Blame it on Mossadegh and then bribe a corrupt member of the Iranian military to go and arrest him. Unfortunately for the CIA, it didn't go to plan. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
