. The German attack on the Soviet Union has led His
Majesty's Government to examine possible developments in
,Iran (Persia), and Noighhouring countries, and they have
considered the effects of the new situation on their
policy towards Iran.
2. That policy, which it is our earnest desire to
continue, may be stated as follows
(1) the maintenance of a fully independent Iran;
( 2 ) the promotion of Iranian prosperity;
(3) the maintenance of Iran's freedom from the undue
influence of any foreign Pov/er.
I 3* In pursuance of this general policy it is the
intention of His Majesty's Government to continue to permit
the export to Iran of aircraft material and to continue
« also the commercial transactions now in progress. They
also hope to be able to make to the Iranian Government
l proposals for the supply of locomotives.
1 , The continuation of this policy of His Majesty*s
Government must, however, depend upon the Iranian
Government on their side taking proper precautions to
preserve their independence and their freedom from
influences hostile to ourselves. His Majesty's Government
have noted with concern the large and increasing number
of Germans resident in Iran. From the example of many
other countries there can be no doubt that these persons
will be employed whenever it may seem fit to the German
Government for the creation of disorder either in Iran it
self or in the neighbouring countries. His Majesty's
Government
