"How does the CIA's activities in Iran show that the US behaves undemocratically in its foreign policy?"

Different from behaving as a country which declare itself as the symbol of freedom; however, on July, 1953, the CIA had monitored a Tudeh Party radio broadcast. The clandestine radio warned Iranians that the American government were working to liquidate the Mossadeq government. Which does not show the image of democracy.

Another example would be-Mossadeq counterattacked by shutting down the Majlis—under the law, only the Majlis could dismiss him, not the shah—rendering the senators and deputies whose votes had been purchased by the CIA useless, the event happened in 1953, which can fully show that US behaves undemocratically toward Iran.

On August 19, the agency's hired mobs assembled in Tehran, ready for a riot. Buses and trucks filled with tribesmen from the south, their leaders all paid by the CIA, arrived in the capital. The event show that the CIA used money to control the whole riot, which is not consider to be the right action for a country declaring itself as a democratic country.
