Maryam, by then part of politics at the highest level, was said to have been involved in the revolution that led to the brief departure of the Shah.

An Anglo-American-backed coup, Operation Ajax, toppled Mossadegh in August , the Shah returned, the Tudeh party was banned, Mossadegh was arrested and Maryam and her husband went into hiding.
