no 1953 Iranian coup, British invasion of Iran

Instead of launching a coup,The UK launches an invasion of Iran's oil fields

Would they be successful in occupying Iranian oil fields

Would this turn into a early Suez crisis

How would a British success or failure influence other 3rd world leaders attempts for nationalization or independence

Would this push Iran to became a soviet ally

Soviet Union says no

Perhaps United States and Soviet Union say no, in early version of Suez Crisis, run on the pound. Real black mark on Winston Churchill's last term.
 
If Iran goes go pro-soviet following this , Would the Us double down on its support of Nasser for fear of losing him to the soviet bloc .
