Sorry the Shah in Iran runs the show and has run the show forever, mosaddeq was a tool of the Shah until he grew to big for his britches.

This is only half the documents for Cuba 1961-1962. I could post Cuba's document's as well but I feel you won't accept them, even though they reaffirm the US ones. What you are asking for are literally thousands of pages of documentation. It's out there.

For the information surrounding Iran in 1951-53 read here. With documents.

Actually history shows us the Iran flourished after his deposing.

History also shows us he was a bad guy,removing him wasnt exactly evil as charged:

Show me source that says differently.

Okay I have read this first one and as I suspected it does not contain anything other than chat about breaking relations and plans to overthrow Castro, no list of terrorist activities.

Brilliant work, Tutatara. The notion that The US is a benign force for good is belied by the historical record. An over-riding humanitarian interventionist US foreign policy is a misnomer.
