My immediately preceding telegram.
Following is text, slightly abbreviated of August 28th.
Begins. Persian Government constantly endeavoured to
maintain friendly relations, especially with its neighbours,
with due regard to neutrality. Moreover when the British
forces entered Persia, the Persian Government, to show good
faith and maintain neighbourly relations, did not embark
on war, though when the British forces began to wage war
and bombarded towns, the garrison troops in provincial towns
had no choice but to resist attack and defend themselves.
Now however the Persian Government to prove its desire for
peace has instructed its forces to refrain from every form
of resistance and to cease every kind of operation. I
the forces of His Majesty’s Government will suspend
operations also, and will abstain from further mi
This decision is also being communicated for info
the representatives of other Governments. Ends.
