 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat

Until very recently the UK/USA involvement in the coup was a conspiracy theory, but then documentation got declassified and became a conspiracy fact.

Solution will never come from the overthrow of the government by a foreign power, that would only make things worse in the long term. Improvement can only come from the inside, but with such a horrible government who kills little girls it is very hard. To live in Iran really is to live in a repressive, police state.
