Reply to meric, since it won't let me.

>Mossadeagh, before the Shah.

When was he elected. Or if it's like the british system, then when was the parliament that appointed him, elected?

He became Prime Minister in 1951 after his party, the National Front, won a majority in the Iranian Parliament (the Majlis).

As best I can make make out he was appointed in 1951[1], as per the British system, by the parliament elected in 1950[2].

My understanding is that the Shah nominated him and he was approved by the elected Majlis. By the time of the coup, though, Mosaddegh had dissolved parliament and was able to unilaterally declare laws by fiat.
