JbAloTdng from Prior Bahrain repeated 'to Tehran
No.T,519 dated 27th August. Begins Reference your telegram
(query) 2039^ August 26th (which has unfortunately not been
repealed fco^Minister at Tehran but which I am repeating to
him now). Your telegrram 444'6/7 A ugust 24th has not been
received.
2o. I agree that there are advantages in standing fast.
Minister has liov/ever informed Isfahan Shiraa and Kerman that
any British subjects who vash to. leave could do so on Barpeta.
In this connection see roy te.legrajii T , /5.15 to Minster now
repeated to you*
5. I interpret Minister’s reference to "British subjects”
as not referring to Consular staffs who will presumably stand
fast until they receive orders to goo Senior ¥aval Officer
has sent sloop tc capture Itaiaen steamer Hilda at Bandar
Abbas and also to be prepared to evacuate British nationals,
I am instructing him not to evacuate Bandar Abbas at present.
Ends.
