It was the CIA who put the "Shah" into power in the 1953 coup. Before this Iran had a democratically elected prime minister who nationalised the country's oil, his name was Mohammad Mosaddegh. The USA have never been big fans of middle Eastern countries controlling their own oil.
Thank you for the correction!
