What is The Queen and the Coup about? Toggle content

In 1953, the Queen unwittingly played a pivotal role in a covert operation to overthrow Iran's democratically-elected leader, an event that would have far-reaching consequences for Iran and the Middle East. The coup, orchestrated by Britain's MI6 and executed by America's CIA, would replace the Prime Minister with a tyrannical Shah, igniting decades of political upheaval and inspiring Islamist revolutions worldwide. This is the untold story of how the Queen's involvement in the coup would shape history, without her knowledge or consent.
