This operation, launched during the broader context of American regime change efforts, demonstrated the complexities and immediate gains often associated with such interventions.

While it may have met its initial goals, the subsequent fallout revealed the potential for instability and unintended repercussions that can arise from orchestrating regime changes in other countries.
