Norman Darbyshire was the British MI6 operative who led the 1953 coup d'état that overthrew Mohammed Mossadegh, the democratically elected prime minister of Iran. Credit and blame for the coup has long been attributed solely to the United States CIA, while the dominant role of Darbyshire and MI6 has been hidden. Among other things, he participated in the assassination of Mossadegh's chief of police, and bribed the twin sister of Shah Reza Pahlavi to play a key role in the coup and to eventually become a power behind his resulting dictatorship.
