It was more to appease Winston Churchill. After years of trying to re-negotiate the 1913 terms of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company's (AIOC) concession, Mossadegh nationalized the company. The AIOC eventually became British Petroleum. Incidentially, Iran's initial request was for a 50-50 split - similar to what Saudi Arabia won from the US.
