His Majesty’s Consul at Ahwaz reports that there has been no concentration
in Ahwaz or Khorramshahr beyond normal garrison and that he is reasonably sure
that there has been no movement of troops in Khuzistan since their return from
manoeuvres (which took place in April and in which two regiments took part).

Letter from His Majesty’s Minister, Tehran, to the Foreign Office,
London, No. 296, dated the 31st July 1937.
I have the honour to inform you that General Amanullah Jehanbani (Per
sonalities in Iran No. 102) has been dismissed from his post of Head of the Depart
ment of Industry and Mines. It is not known for certain why he has again fallen
from favour. But the rumour which has found most favour in Tehran is that he
incurred the Shah’s displeasure by approaching him, at the request of the French
Minister, in connection with some matter affecting the officers of the French Mili
tary Mission. An officer of the mission has, however, told me that there is no truth
in this report. General Jehanbani is a Kajar and an officer of some distinction.
It is not the first time that he has fallen from favour.
2. His place at the Department of Industry and Mines has been taken by Mon
sieur Moussa Noury Esfandiary (Personalities in Iran No. 75). The whole of Mon
sieur Noury Esfandiary’s career has been passed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
or the Diplomatic Service. He does not appear to be a man of any great ability
or forcefulness, and his appointment to this important post is surprising.
