That wouldn't happen because Mosaddegh was already going to get deposed by his own people when the CIA intervened by... largely showing up with oodles of cash and promises.


People forget that Mosaddegh's reign caused a lot of unrest at the end of it, to the point that the country getting into civil war was a distinct possibility. So, the CIA short-circuited it by greasing a lot of important hands (i.e. showing up with oodles of money), got them into a united front, and largely sat on the sidelines.
