US and UK did orchestrate a coup to overthrow the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran in 1953. (Operation Ajax)

The Prime Minister was a lawyer and politician that took control of Iran's oil resources from British Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (What we know as BP today), and he was going to take more actions to take control over their resources.
