Mosadec, the Shah, and Kermit Roosevelt
The Shah fled Iran, and the clergy assumed control of the country. Kermit Roosevelt stayed in Tehran to wait for the Shah to come back from Rome. He went on to more years at the CIA than later became an oil consultant. In 1979, Iranians reached a breaking point and revolted against the Shah.
