Planned by Britain’s MI6 and then executed by America’s C.I.A., the coup d’état which follows will destroy Iran’s last democracy, and relations between Iran and the West until the present day. Most shocking of all, the truth about Her Majesty’s role will be hidden from the Queen herself, and even the all-powerful Shah who will be used by Britain and American to replace Iran’s last democratic Prime Minister. The coup will lead to political upheaval all over the Middle East for decades to come, eventually resulting in the Islamic Revolution of 1979 which will end the reign of the Shah, and British and American influence in Iran, inspiring countless other Islamist revolutions around the world.

Teherán, Irán, 19 de agosto de 1953. Un grupo de conspiradores iraníes que, con el beneplácito del depuesto tirano Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, han conspirado con agentes del MI6 británico y de la CIA estadounidense, consiguen poner fin al gobierno democrático liderado por Mohammad Mosaddegh, un dramático hecho que dará inicio a la trágica era de los golpes de estado que, orquestados por la CIA, tendrán lugar, a lo largo de las décadas siguientes, en decenas de países de todo el mundo.
