  • This second instalment in a multi-part series on Operation Ajax looks at the escalating conflict between Britain and Iran, starting from 1949, as the nationalist forces in Iran gain widespread popular support culminating in the election of Mohammed Mossadeq as Prime Minister. Covered in detail are the British attempts at election rigging and their relentless propaganda campaign in a fruitless attempt to arrest Mossadeq's rise to power.
