Little Hawk,

That is a good start. Battle of the Wiki, eh?

Now please reconcile the statement from the third through fifth lines of your post:         

Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh...was the democratically elected prime minister of Iran from 1951 to 1953. He was twice appointed to office by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, and approved by the vote of parliament

That cannot all be true. If he was appointed (correct answer) he could not have been elected, at least not in the same series of events.

Also, the prime minister is subordinate to the King (Shah, in this case), so he was the Shah's helper, not the country's leader.

Again, the time you claim Iran had a democratically-elected government is smack in the middle of the Pahlavi monarchy's rule:

         Mohammad Reza Pahlavi: Shah of Iran
                Reign        September 16, 1941 - February 11, 1979
                Born        October 16, 1919, Tehran
                Died        July 27, 1980, aged 60, Cairo
                Predecessor        Reza Shah Pahlavi (ruled December 15,          1925 - Septmber 16, 1941)
                Heir-Apparent        Reza Cyrus Pahlavi

"...was the monarchial ruler of Iran from September 16, 1941 until the Iranian Revolution on February 11, 1979. He was the second monarch of the Pahlavi dynasty and the last Shah of the Iranian monarchy."
