Would it be better for US to take a more neutral stance between Israel and Arabs since the 1960s?

The Shah only got the authority he did because Eisenhower and Churchill wanted to remove a democratically elected socialist government that was going to use Iran's resources to benefit Iran. Basically, Mossadegh was shoved from power by the West because he put the interests of Iranians ahead of Western interests, and the West simply couldn't have that. It was that same dubious logic that led to US interventionism all over the world for much of the Cold War.

This is so wrong it’s laughable.

Dude it's factual. The C.I.A. disclosed the information to the public. We launch a coup against Mossadegh to put in a authoritarian monarchy that would serve the interests of the West. The Shah was a ruthless leader who the people of Iran were rightfully in their overthrow of his regime. What happended was unfortunately in the nation becoming a theocracy, let's not be apologetic to the Shah and how America is to blame for overthrowing the leader that the Iranian people put in place.

Mossadegh was literally a dictator that had enemies in almsot every single Iranian institution. The Iranians launched the coup, that had some support from the CIA and MI6.
