- Tomorrow marks the 70th anniversary of the 1953 coup in Iran that was fomented by the U.S. and the U.K. The country's democratically elected prime minister was ousted in favor of a pro-Western shah, and it was the end of democracy in Iran. It then colored the 1979 revolution against the shah with an anger toward the U.S. and the West.
