<i>The 1953 coup in Tehran was primarily to secure oil supply for Britain which it needed to convert its navy from coal.</i>

Britain probably needed the oil but the Royal Navy started its turnover to oil well before WWI and was completely oil-fired long before WWII.

"....the US supporting Israel in trapping it into a regional war is because it wants to be trapped, and thus wants the regional conflict...."

Well actually lets be more nuanced: the zionists 5th columnists embedded in the US government want to entrap the US military in a wid open hot war with Iran, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon (which Ray McGovern and Scott Ritter report that the US military is reluctant to be, as it sees no possible win here) and then try to sell it to the American people as "we have no choice".
