Not many people here probably know who Mosaddegh was. So for context, he speaks of the 1953 CIA backed coup against the iranian elected president Mosaddegh, who nationalized the oil from foreign companys. Which the foreign companys and their governments did not like. But, I am not sure if all would have been peace and harmony without that coup. Sudden oil richness in a very, very poor society, is just very hard to do right.
