Tehran telegram No. 169 to Foreign Office
- 2 -
will undermine confidence in himself and in his aims both
at home and abroad. He will in this sense be embarking on
an experiment which is almost certain to involve him in a
dictatorship, whether he wishes it or not. If on the
other hand the Shah drops the idea of a dissolution and
confines himself to persuading the Government to convene
a Constituent Assembly (see my telegram No. 165) this
danger need not arise.
A. I therefore feel I should see the Shah within
the next 48 hours and speak to him on the lines indicated
in paragraph 4 of my telegram No. 165 and I hope you will
instruct me to do so.
5. Charge d'Affaires with whom I have been in close
touch throughout is in agreement with above.
Foreign Office pass Washington as my telegram
[Repeated to Washington and Saving to B.M.E.O. (Cairo)
and Moscow].
