Similarly, based on the reports of CIA field agents, the United States feared the consequences of a further deterioration of Iran's economy if Mosaddegh continued to rebuff Soviet influence. The CIA believed that the constant poor economic conditions of the country and Mosaddegh's unwillingness or inability to solve Iran's economic problems would cause the people to revolt against Mosaddegh. If the Iranian people did act against their government, the Tudeh would have proven to be the greatest political organizing force in the country, and would, therefore, be thrust into a primary political role.
