"How does the CIA's activities in Iran show that the US behaves undemocratically in its foreign policy?"
During the 1930s, the United States used its airports and roads to transport 18 billion worth of military aid to British. Therefore, British got the power to refuse what the Iran demanded. Also, they bribed the local politicians, newspaper editors, and the radio director, so British were able to overthrow Mossadeq.
CIA spent $150,000 propaganda campaign to control Iran’s press and public, in order to overthrow Massadeq. It was a waste to spent huge amount of money on overthrowing a person who was not a pro-American. This act shows the US behaved undemocratically in its foreign policy.
