Speculation over the butterflies that come out from Operation Ajax's failure or success are numerous, but I want to explore a different line of questioning.
Say for whatever reason, Operation Ajax fails and Mosaddegh consolidates his power as head of Tudeh. One year later however, he is assassinated by the rightist Fada'iyan-e Islam. What happens then? Does the Shah return or stay? What of Ali Reza I?
