Further consideration convinces me more and more of
(?Tehran) preventing Zil-es-Sultan or any member of his
family from taking the Governorship of Ispahan at present,-
Captain Koel insists strongly on the point that
while hatred of the Russians is also serious factor
prospect of His Highness 1 return is the main cause of
the Bakhtiari irritation and I feel we should urge the
Russian Government very strongly to agree to removing it.
If they refuse we risk as a fresh point seeing 50C0
Bakhtiaris joining the Turks and attack on Ispahan;
Sykes will be obliged to join in defending'the town and
we shall find ourselves at open hostility with the tribe.
Secret ,- I need scarcely point out that this result
would not be at all displeasing to a certain school of
thought strongly represented in Asiatic Department at
Petrograd which has its representatives in Russian Le
gation here and on which Zil-es-Sultan party rely as is
inevitable seeing that Ispahan is in the Russian sphere*
Zil-es-Sultan*s party is already in touch with some of
the Khans of the
Ilkhani
The paramount chief of certain tribes in south west Iran.
Branch ox the tribe and if we
allow ourselves to be dragged into hostility with the
tribe, that branch will inevitably fall under Russian
influence and so the door will be opened in the future
to endless Intrigues in the Bakhtiari by a Russian
V' , VJ r
Consul of active type.
