Following is Khorramshahr telegram addressed to Tehran
No. 105 repeated to iJiwaz.
I have just learnt that Russian Consul visited the
Governor of Abadan yesterday and stayed with him three or four
hours. It is said that he told the Governor that he had
information that a number of British officers had been left
behind in Abadan after the evacuation of British troops and
were no*// employed in A. I.O.C.. He wanted to know their names
and details about them. The Governor replied that he had only
recently arrived and had no information about them. The Consul
then made enquiries about Arabs in this area and what
connexion they had with Iraqi Arabs. He said that Chief of
Court was not satisfactory and that he was to be recalled to
Tehran. The Governor replied he had just received orders from
Tehran to the effect that the Chief of Court should proceed
to Tehran forthwith. The Consul then asked if the Governor
had received any instructions from Tehran about Armenians
wishing to change their nationality. The Governor replied
he had not although in fact he had received secret instructions
from Tehran to the effect that every facility was to be
extended to the Armenians in the event of their wishing to
change their nationality.
2. I understand that the Russian Consul also called
on certain A,I,0.C. officials but I will check up on this
and report further.

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.
