About this listen

In this episode of *Agency Archives*, Cipher and Nova investigate how the CIA, driven by U.S. business interests, played a pivotal role in destabilizing Iran. They unravel the covert operations, political maneuvering, and economic motivations behind one of the most significant interventions of the Cold War era. Join them as they examine the impact of these actions on Iran’s future and discuss the complex intersection of government power and corporate influence.


"War is a racket. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many."
