Our sources now say much the same, Eric.

are
1. the Shah was installed in 1941.
2. The USSR did not control Iran before that.
You first instanced the "Iran crisis" of 1946. The
Shah was in situ. The USSR did not control Iran then,
it was one of two occupying powers, who had agreed to
invade to prevent Iran supporting the Axis Powers (as
I have said).
now you point to the "coup"/"counter-coup" of 1953 to
which I'd just pointed, which could, at a stretch,
have been said to "re-install the Shah"; you quote
"The most accurate term for the

post it. (Not evidence that Iran had a Communist
Party, not evidence that a Prime Minister needed the
parliamentary support of a Communist Party (if that is
so), not evidence that the USSR, the US and Britain
contended for control of Iran, not evidence that the
Soviet Union and Britain both Iran. Evidence that the
USSR controlled Iran. It would be nice if that could
also be related to the installation of the Shah, but
well, we can't have everything.
