"How does the CIA's activities in Iran show that the US behaves undemocratically in its foreign policy?"

The CIA overthrew Mossadeq in 1953 shows the US’s undemocratic behavior in its foreign policy. "The Chance for Peace" speech by Eisenhower states that ", any nation's attempt to dictate to other nations their form of government is indefensible."

The CIA used Bribery in the 1950s also shows the US’s undemocratic behavior in its foreign policy. They bribed Iranian officials, religious leader, and local gangs. For example, Princess Ashraf, and force the shah to help the coup.

The CIA hired mobs to topple Mossadeq shows the US’s undemocratic behavior in its foreign policy. They tried to create riot by hiring Iranian mobs, so they can bring the leader down.
