Many world leaders, from Marcos to Suharto, are reputed to have been CIA assets.

A quick history lesson reminds us that the Shah was installed in 1953 after a coup against the populist government of Mohammed Mossadegh. That coup was organized, funded and directed by Kermit Roosevelt and the CIA.
The impetus for the coup was Mossadegh’s decision to nationalize Iranian oil...
The Shah was put into power by the CIA but eventually he began to worry the Americans. He appeared to be becoming too powerful and too independent-minded.
In 1979 the Shah was toppled in what was probably partly a CIA operation.
The CIA could have replaced the Shah with EITHER an independent minded liberal secular democracy OR the ayatollahs. A secular democratic government might not have been kind to the US oil companies and Israel. A secular democratic government might have become too powerful.

Out of what seemed to be nowhere to the western observer, the Ayatollah Khomeini appeared in the capital of Tehran, ready to take over the reins of the revolutionary government.
It has been reported that Britain's MI6 had ties to Khomeini and flew with him back to Tehran.
(aangirfan: The use of the Muslim Brotherhood by MI6 and the CIA in ...)
In the Iran-Contra scandal it became clear that the CIA had close ties to the ayatollahs. On the other hand, the CIA/Pentagon/Israel did not want Iran to become too powerful.
CIA asset Saddam Hussein was used to keep Iran weak.
(Saddam Worked For The CIA)
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad became president of Iran in 2005.
Some people suspect that Ahmadinejad is a CIA agent or asset.

The current crisis over Iran’s nuclear energy program is a crisis contrived by Washington...
For whatever reason, Ahmadinejad has played into Washington’s hands nicely by making bellicose statements and by appearing to be hiding the program’s true intentions...
