+1 ^nerican Minister, who is very helpful, has
frequently spoken to the Prime Minister and acting Minister
for Foreign Affairs about the possibility of a fifth
column movement, and as a general rule I keep him acquainted
with my representations on that subject. He received
irom his Government July 30th telegram asking whether
confirm the news received from a good source
that His Majesty s Government had threatened to invade
Iran (Persia) if all Germans [?group undec. ?not] expelled

Since then he has received one or two more
telegrams asking to be kept informed. If His Majesty's
uhT? r +>? en n inva ^ e Iran or to present ultimatum,
will the United States Government be informed beforehand?
1 trust you would authorise me to tell my American
colleague in good time. It will be remembered that
American financial advisers and diplomatists in Iran
nave been on the whole anti-British and that Americans
are in general suspicious of our ’’Imperial” designs in
oriental countries and it would appear to be essential
to warn the United States of America, of any drastic
action that we propose to take.
