^2 ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE
PERSIAN GULF
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
The tribal history of the year under review has nothing to shew but
rebellions and constant inter-tribal warfare. In the month of January Amur
Agha of the Agha Jirri rebelled against the Bakhtiari Governor of Behbehan
and successfully defied his every effort to coerce him till he was brought to
heel by a forte of Bahamai and Shukrullah Boir Ahmedi Kuhgelus^ whom the
Governor of Behbehan instigated to attack him. In the spring of 1910, the

and Acting Ilbegi summoned headmen from the Tebi and Boir
Ahmedi tribes to appear before them at Malamir, and their non-compliance
was made a pretext by the Bakhtiaris for the despatch of an expeditionary
force against the former tribe. The conduct of the operations against Ali
Murad Khan of the Tebi, was at first entrusted to Hussein Khan of the
Ahmedi Bahamai, who are in touch With the

Branch of the Bakhti

family of the Bakhtiaris, of which Sultan Ali is also a member,
Hussein Khan was superseded in the supreme command by Sultan Ali Khan,
who at once made peace with Ali Murad Khan and invested him with a robe
of honour. This action on Sultan Ali KMn's part led to a rupture of the
already strained relations existing between the Acting
Ilkhani
The paramount chief of certain tribes in south west Iran.
and the Acting
Ilbegi of the Bakhtiaris, which resulted in Sultan Ali Khan's recall from
Behbehan and the withdrawal, in May, of the expeditionary force from the
Tebi territory, without accomplishing anything more than embroiling the
Ahmedi Bahamai in an implacablie blood feud with the Tebi. The failure
of this expedition, which was a golden opportunity for the Bakhtiaris not
only to make themselves masters of a tribe, which harasses the Bakhtiari
(Lynch) road continually, but also gradually to subjugate all the Kuhgelu
tribes, may be traced directly to the intense and ever present hatred of the
two Bakhtiari families the one for the other.
Consequent on the blood feud, which arose as above stated, between the
Ahmedi Bahamai and the Tebi {Sarhaddi)^ these two tribes were engaged in
internecine warfare all through the summer^ the advantage being on the side
of the Bahamai. Later, in autumn, tney were joined by some of the Tebi
themselves under Mulla Walli, Biawash, and Khan Ali Khans and the inves-
ture of Qala Raesi, in which fort Ali Murad Khan had taken up his stand,
was commenced, and the year closed with desultory fighting still going on.
Among the events of lesser importance may be mentioned {i) the deten
tion of three hostages from the Kuhgelu for the good behaviour of their siib-
tribes by the Bakhtiari Khans in the Lligh Country—on internal dissensions
breaking out among the Bakhtiari Khans in the summer^ these hostages were
set free—and (ii) the policing, during the summer of the Sarrak-Pul-i-
Amarat section of the Lynch (Ahwaz-Ispahan) road by the Bahamai, under
the orders of Hussein Khan.
Lastly^ among the matters worthy of note may be mentioned the proffer of
assistance by the Boir Ahmedi, under Mulla Kobad, to the Sowlet-ud-Dowleh,
when he was threatening to invade Bakhtiari territory in the vicinity of
Imam Qais, arid the attack near Slmlgistan by members of the same tribe on
Mr. Bill, His Majesty's Consul, Shiraz, when en route to Ispahan, in the
spring of 1910.
