- Scope & Content:
-
This file consists of miscellaneous reports regarding internal affairs in Persia towards the end of the occupation of the country by British and Soviet troops. Most of the correspondence is between His Majesty's Ambassador in Tehran (Sir Reader William Bullard, succeeded by John Helier Le Rougetel) and officials of the Foreign Office. Other prominent correspondents include the following: His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires in Tehran (Harold Lister Farquhar), His Majesty's Ambassador in Moscow (Maurice Peterson), His Majesty's Ambassador in Washington (Archibald Clark Kerr, referred to as Lord Inverchapel), His Majesty's Ambassador in Baghdad (Sir Hugh Stonehewer Bird), and the Secretary of State for India (Frederick William Pethick-Lawrence).
The correspondence includes discussion of the following:
- Soviet Russia's failure to withdraw its troops from Persia by 2 March 1946, an act regarded by the Persian Government as a violation of the Tripartite Treaty of 1942.
- Whether the Persian Government should be advised to submit to the United Nations Security Council an appeal regarding Russia's refusal to withdraw its troops.
- A proposed British Parliamentary delegation to Persia.
- Russian assistance to both the Kurdish Republican movement and to the new Azerbaijan National Government [the Azerbaijan People's Government, based in Tabriz], as well as Russian influence in the negotiations between the Persian Central Government and Azerbaijan National Government delegations.
- Reports of a gradual withdrawal of Soviet forces from north Persia during April-May 1946.
- The Tudeh Party's growing strength as a political force (particular attention is given to the party's involvement in strikes by employees of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, as well as to the Persian Government's response to the strikes).
- Whether observers from the United Nations should be invited into the country for its forthcoming elections.
The French language material consists of one item of correspondence.
The file includes two dividers which give a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. These are placed at the back of the correspondence (folios 2-3).
