Iran abolishes controversial morality police

I see your answer as very naive.

Of course Iranians have agency as individuals; but it's very clear at this point in history that most of the 20th century has been dominated by US strategic decisions, and that "the US and UK supported a coup" is factually true.

I am Italian, I believe Italians have agency, too, and yet some of our past governments were inches away from being "guided" in a different direction by the CIA or other US agencies [0].

While I mostly agree with you let's not forget there was a competing imperial power whose strategic decisions were not mere reactions to US strategic decisions and that have had quite an impact too.
