I understand what you are saying, but we allowed Hugo Chavez to nationalize Exxon holdings in Venezuela (forming PDVSA), which was a direct U.S. interest.

Why Mosaddegh was denied what Chavez was allowed is not clear to me.

PDVSA exists since 1975. What you referred to wasn’t the 1st oil nationalisation that happened in Venezuela.
