Iran Coup Role Exaggerated, London Reports
A CIA officer, cousin to Theodore Roosevelt, was involved in a plan presented to the Shah of Iran. The plan was related to the 1953 coup. The operation aimed to influence regional politics. His narrative placed his people in an instrumental position in the event. John Foster Dulles was reportedly told the story of the operation by Roosevelt. This suggests a reevaluation of his involvement in the 1953 Iranian coup d'état. New reports from London suggest that Kermit Roosevelt's role in Operation Ajax has been exaggerated. This historical re-evaluation questions previous accounts of the 1953 Iranian coup. BBC World Service reported that the role of the 1953 coup in Iran has been exaggerated. The shadow of this historical event still affects Iranian negotiators. The ceasefire in the Middle East war is on life support, according to reports from London.
