A Prime minister asked me this morning if there were anv
truth in the report that we had presented an ultimatum to
Iran (rersia) to get rid of her undesirable enemy subjects.
2. I told him that there had been no ultimatum but
pressure was certainly being brought to bear on the
Iranian Government to get rid of their German nationals
[grp. omtd. ? while] there was still time to do so. I hoped
and believed that the pressure would increase if our perfectly
legitimate requirements were not met.

I begged tne Prime Minister to exercise descretion as to what
he told Ring Parouk and he promised to do so. His Excellency
seemed entirely to understand and welcomed our action of
firmness towards the Iranians.
