I've noticed the same people who "cared" about civilians dying in Gaza had nothing to say when the Regime in Iran was purposely targeting and slaughtering its own civilians.

This is an incredibly important and troublesome myth, often blindly referenced by Western analysts in error. So here's what actually happened:

The "first democratically elected leader overthrown by the US" line about Mossadegh collapses the actual constitutional reality of Iran in the 1950s.

Iran did not elect prime ministers. Under the 1906 constitution, the Shah appointed and dismissed the prime minister from among members of the elected Parliament (Majlis). Mossadegh was appointed under that system.

In August 1953 the Shah issued a royal decree dismissing him, an authority explicitly granted to the monarch. Mossadegh refused to comply, barricaded himself in office, and attempted to dissolve the Majles through a referendum that bypassed the constitutional order entirely. By that point the country was already in a constitutional crisis.

Just as important is why the Shah moved against him. The dispute was not simply "Britain vs. Iranian nationalism." Iran at the time had no independent infrastructure to produce, refine, transport, insure, or sell its oil internationally. Full and immediate nationalisation without an operational framework effectively shut down the industry overnight. Mossadegh was sympathetic to the Soviet, and would likely have granted them the privilege to handle things.

The Shah couldn't allow that. His strategy was to increase Iran's share of oil revenues while maintaining production and access to global markets, using that income to gradually build the domestic infrastructure Iran lacked. The plan was long-term: secure a larger revenue share now, develop capacity over time, and transition to full control once Iran could actually operate the industry.

In other words, the dispute was partly about timing and state capacity, not simply sovereignty. Though the latter was important if the keys were to be given to the Soviets.

And if you're wondering when that long-term horizon would have matured, well, it was a 25-year plan.

That brings us to 1979.
