REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN: THE CIA'S 1950s PLAYBOOK","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs the Cold War heated up, the CIA created a new template for regime change in far-flung Iran (1953) and Guatemala (1954). Inspired in part by advertising culture, the agency began to execute covert and psychological operations to oust democratically elected foreign leaders seen as hostile to U.S. interests. The first “successful” ouster came when the Americans and British toppled Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh to protect oil interests. A year later, the U.S. employed similar tactics to help remove Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz, whose moderate land reform was seen as a threat to American business interests. Applauded as wildly successful within the agency, the two ousters helped install oppressive pro-U.S. regimes, fueling future regime-change fantasies and generations of anti-American sentiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003cbr\u003eRegime Change in Iran: The CIA's 1950s Playbook\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Willie Hiatt\u003cbr\u003e1 session: Thursday, June 4\u003cbr\u003e10:00 – 12:00 noon \u003cbr\u003eFee: $35\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Frick Estate Lectures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52057460736283,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/thefrickestatelectures.org\/products\/562-regime-change-in-iran-the-cias-1950s-playbook","provider":"The Frick Estate Lectures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
