He became the mastermind of the CIA's Operation Ajax, which orchestrated the coup against Mohammed Mossadegh and returned Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, to Iran's Peacock Throne in August 1953. A major economic consequence of this coup was the ceding of 40% of Iran's oil business from the British controlled Anglo-Iranian Oil Company to U.S. oil companies. Kim Roosevelt's wife Polly [ne Mary Lowe Gaddis] graduated from Radcliffe College in 1939 and the couple settled in Washington the next year.During World War II, Mrs. Roosevelt was a Gray Lady with the American Red Cross.
