Aggressive conduct of the Imperial Persian Customs, 1904.
In 1904 the Imperial Persian Customs^ partly at the instigation of
the Persian Minister for Foreign Affairs,, who was believed to be acting
on the advice of the Russian representative at Tehran^ and partly
impelled -by professional zeal, embarked on a course of meddlesome
activity that nearly provoked a political crisis.
In the spring of 1904^ as related in the history of Trucial ^Oman, Jurisdiction
they established posts on the Arab islands of Bu Musa and Tunb, where asserted over
they lowered the Arab flag; and their occupation was only brought to B^ Musa,
an end by British threats of forcible intervention. An attempt^ noticed Timb an ^
in the history of the Persian Coast^ was made about the same time to Shri.
enforce complete control over the island of Sirri; but the opposition of
Great Britain^ by whom the claim of Persia to the island was not
admitted, prevented the establishment there of a regular customs post.
In the course of the summer of 1904, a sustained effort was made Attempt to
by the Department to obtain control of the sanitary administration of oust British
the Persian Coast, especially at Bushehr, by gradually encroaching on s c a 0 n n ^ a 0 1 1 y 0n
the authority of the British officers employed in the Persian sanitary * the pe rs ian
service; but this endeavour, which is described in another Appendix, Coast,
was frustrated by British diplomacy.
In September 1904, as related in the histories of 'Arabistan and Interference
Kuwait, to the alarm of the Shaikh of Muhammareh, who considered
his executive authority to be invaded, and to the annoyance of the ryingarrag>
people of Kuwait, who were the principal sufferers, the Mozafter was
posted at the mouth of the Shatt-al-'Arab and began to search vessels
for rifles and ammunition and to seize those possessing any, even for
self-defence against pirates ; the methods employed were so vexatious
that the Government of India were constrained to protest against them.
Towards the end of 1904 a customs post was established on H^iijam EsUblkh-
Island, apparently as a counter-move to the reopening of the British custo gt
telegraph station there. This step it was clearly withm the rights of on Hanj , m<
the Persian Government to take; but much opposition on the part of
the Arab inhabitants of the island was provoked, and the local situation
continued critical until 1905.
