Your telegrams Nos. 1220, 1221 and 1254.
The Prime Minister returned to Tehran last night
and received me this morning. He was very optimistic
about the election prospects and expressed the view
that Tudeh were unlikely to secure any seats in Gilan,
Mazanderan or Kharassan.
2. With regard to Azerbaijan he readily admitted the
force of argument developed in paragraph 2 of your
757*7 telegram No. 1221 and explained that he was now con

About this item
- Content
The file contains reports, predominantly in the form of telegrams, by British diplomatic and consular staff on political and social developments in Persia; the content of the reports reflect British Government interests during the Iran-Azerbaijan Crisis of 1946. The reports cover developments within the Central Government, developments in the provinces, and the activities of the Democratic Party and the Tudeh Party. This includes accounts of meetings held by the British and United States Ambassadors – John Le Rougetel and George V Allen – with Ahmad Qavam (Prime Minister and Leader of the Democratic Party) and the Shah – Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. The file also covers strikes and labour disputes, with those affecting the operations of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company being particularly predominant.
The strikes of oil workers in Agha Jari and Abadan in July 1946 are covered in the reports, as is a threatened revolt by the Bakhtiari and Kashgai tribes. Reports from the British Ambassador to the Soviet Union (Sir Maurice Drummond Peterson) cover Soviet press reporting of developments in Persia. A small amount of content is in French.
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
