The phrasing of the question is difficult to parse, but assuming that this is referring to the aftermath of the Iranian nationalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company by Prime Minister Mohamed Mossadegh in 1951 and Operation Ajax (a CIA operation in 1953 to restore Mohamed Reza Shah Pahlavi to power after being ousted in 1951), the answer is rather straightforward. The Shah was restored to power with the explicit goal to return the oil fields in Iran to British control and restore the operating freedom of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. This is exactly what he did.
