nerd You're 100% correct about what Amerikkka was doing with the CIA but Mossadegh is not the best specific example since that's Iran, and Iran is not an Arab country. it is Muslim, but not Arab. They don't speak Arabic, but Farsi. Iran is not considered part of the "Arab world" but it is considered part of the Middle East. These are often confused.

Arab World (does not Include Iran)

Middle East (does include Iran)

Iran

Usually when people want to refer to the Arab World + Iran they say "MENA region" (Middle East North Africa)

I for one appreciate this lesson. I did not know this. Maybe vaguely. This is very clear, thanks.

Afghanistan does not appear in that middle east map, what region do we put Afghanistan in?

It's more Central or South Asia

pretty much considered both South Asian and Central Asian. It's no more Middle Eastern than Turkmenistan or Pakistan

The Middle East is basically just West Asia (sometimes known as South-West Asia) minus Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia and plus two transcontinental countries; Turkey (mostly in Asia except for East Thrace in Europe) and Egypt (mostly in Africa except for the Sinai Peninsula in Asia)
