It is perhaps just as well that the Persian Prime
Minister’s comuniqu^ has not been communicated to us
officially, in view of your intention, which I approve,
to ignore the ban, continue to receive Persian visitors
except notorious intriguers, and instruct Consuls to act
similarly.
”2. But I think that unless you see objection you should
take a suitable opportunity to speak to Persian Prime
Minister. You could say that y u h ve reported to your
Government, who have expressed to you their astonishment
al; this unexpected development, which is se contrary t©
what they have hitherto understood to be the desire of
modern Persia to stand well in the eyes of the world as
a cultured and progressive nation. It is^for the
Persian Government to judge whether such an injunction,

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.
