The Minister for Foreign Affairs sent for me this afternoon
to inlorm me that the Persian Ambassador had called on him
this morning. The Ambassador had stated that British and
bovieu troops were advancing into Persia and that open towns
had been bombarded. Meanwhile the Soviet and British
representatives remained in Tehran and discussions with the
Shah were proceeding. Proposals might have been considered
during these discussions but he was unaware of the result.
He asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs whether he would take
an initiative with all the parties concerned in order to
reach a settlement.

'The Minister for Foreign Affairs expressed to
-r*C on Q 1 -tr-i our + U o 4- 4-U .O • •
him the personal view that the presence of Germans in Persia
was not the sole tpbiect of our action. He also said that it
would not be possible for him to take any initiative unless he
was certain that all the parties were ready to accept his
advances. *
3. The Persian Ambassador said that if it was-only a
question of turning out the Germans, he was certain that his
Government would be prepared to come to a settlement. If there
were any other points which His Majesty's Government and
tne Soviet Government required, he thought that his Government
would examine them.
4, The Minister for Foreign /iffairs said that he would
inlorm me of the Persian [grp. undec. ? demarche]. I said
that I would report the matter to you.
