The question of the sheikh's properties now arose, and made it desirable for him
to go to Tehran. In a despatch of the 3rd April, 1925, the British Minister at
Tehran wrote :—
" I am hopeful that if the sheikh can be persuaded to come to Tehran the
matter of his properties can be settled to his satisfaction. His Majesty's
Government may then consider that their written assurances to his Excellency
might suitably and honourably be allowed to lapse, and the duty of protecting
him passed on to the Persian Government. This would be a very welcome result,
and one which we should, in my opinion, strive earnestly to achieve."
The sheikh rejected Sir P. Loraine's advice of voluntarily proceeding to Tehran,
and announced his intention of going to reside for a time at Basra. Reza Khan,
however, was determined that he should be brought to Tehran. He thereupon caused
the sheikh to be arrested at Mohammerah on the 19th April, 1925, and conveyed to
the capital under escort. Reza Khan explained his motives in taking this course to
Sir P. Loraine, who considered that he had made out a good case.
The sheikh reached Tehran on the 10th May, 1925; soon afterwards a repre
sentative of His Majesty's Minister was refused access to the sheikh. For this
slight His Majesty's Minister demanded and received from Keza Khan a written
apology, " in order to uphold not only British dignity, but also the British position
in regard to the Sheikh of Mohammerah."
In a statement made in the House of Lords on the 25th May, 1925, Lord Balfour
said that the sheikh "had not been treated as a Prince by His Majesty's Govern
ment," and " had always been under the suzerainty of Persia."
Despite continued representations by His Majesty's Government and repeated
assurances as to an early settlement by the Persian Government, nothing has yet
been achieved in regard to the sheikh's affairs. His property is in the hands of
the Persian authorities; he has been deprived of his revenues; and he is himself
detained at Tehran.
