The EurAsian Times article draws a parallel between the current situation in Iran, marked by widespread anti-government protests, and the 1953 'Operation Ajax' coup. Historically, Operation Ajax was a covert operation orchestrated by the United States (CIA) and the United Kingdom (MI6) that led to the overthrow of Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in August 1953. This intervention consolidated the power of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the father of the current exiled Crown Prince, and was largely motivated by Western oil interests after Mosaddegh nationalized Iran's oil industry. The CIA formally acknowledged its role in this event in 2013. The article's headline speculatively questions whether a similar intervention, dubbed 'Operation Ajax 2.0,' could occur involving Reza Pahlavi (Jr. Pahlavi) and the CIA. Recent reports indicate that Steve Witkoff, identified as a White House envoy, held undisclosed meetings with Reza Pahlavi to discuss the ongoing protests in Iran. This contact marks the first high-level engagement between the Trump administration and a prominent Iranian opposition figure since the protests escalated. Furthermore, Reza Pahlavi has actively called upon the Iranian military to abandon the current regime and align with the protesters, emphasizing their duty to protect their compatriots. While the historical facts of Operation Ajax are accurate and well-documented, the 'Operation Ajax 2.0' framing is presented as an analytical question by the EurAsian Times, rather than a confirmed ongoing covert operation. The US has publicly voiced support for the Iranian protesters, with former President Trump stating that 'help is on the way.' The EurAsian Times itself has been assessed as having a 'Right-Center bias' and 'Mixed for factual reporting,' often employing sensationalized headlines. Therefore, while the underlying events of US interaction with Pahlavi and his calls for military defection are corroborated, the article's interpretive lens warrants critical evaluation.
