Ironically I have previously raised the Iran coup on HN, but someone appeared to disagree that it was sponsored by the CIA (this was prior to the release of documents proving it though): https://hackernews.hn/item?id=5779374
Wow. That's pretty ignorant. I didn't even think anybody would still try to support that side of the issue, the horse was beaten to death and buried long ago. Trying to revive it likely won't work :)
Thanks for the summary! I do think that the Mossadeq affair should have been an integral part of the whole.
