- File 537/1921 Part 1 'Persia: Oil - Defence of A.P. Oil Co's fields etc'
- Scope & Content:
- The item contains correspondence and other papers regarding the protection of oilfields in Arabistan, Persia [the southern part of Khuzestan Province, Iran] run by the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC). Topics discussed include:
- The withdrawal of a British military unit from Ahwaz [Ahvaz] following the end of the First World War
- The reliance for protection of the oilfields on continued friendly relations with the Sheikh [Shaikh] of Mohammerah [Khorramshahr] and the Bakhtiari [Bakhtiyari] people, and considerations that these relations could be adversely influenced by the Soviet Union or by any attempt by the Government of Persia to assert more direct control over the area
- Potential creation of a ‘volunteer defence force’ made up of APOC employees, and discussions over how the Government of Persia would react to such a force
- Possible availability of British troops in Iraq for protection of the oilfields in an emergency, and discussion of the technicalities of requesting and providing such assistance.
