The Iran conflict is part of a longer historical pattern of US intervention in the Middle East, dating back to the 1953 CIA-backed coup that overthrew the democratically-elected government of Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. This pattern of intervention has been driven by a desire to maintain US dominance in the region and secure access to oil resources.
