to limit foreign interests in the country, as well as the Shahs power (Chronology: U.S.-Iran Relations, 1906-2002, 2005-hereafter, "Chronology, 2005"). Clearly Mossadeq was not the man the U.S. wanted in

is the Iranian Revolution that occurs January, 1978-February, 1979, and results in the overthrow of the shah (Bill, 2004). The shahs regime was corrupt but he was backed by the
U.S.; its support of a despised ruler may well be the first major disruption in relations between the two countries. "When the shah fell, he toppled over on the United
