Your telegram No.807 of July 3rd.
Repeated requests to Iranian (PersianGovernment
to immobilise enemy ships at BandarShapur removing either
crews or essential parts of machinery have been refused.
Authorities hov/ever state that for some time there has
been an Iranian officer permanently on board each vessel,
and Prime Minister informed me on July 27th that he had
certainly stationed second gunboat to watch, and that
enemy vessels could not move. ^tS these measures depend
on miscellaneous Iranian officers and men, they are not
completely convincing to me. On the other hand, when
Mr. Greenway saw you recently, he gained the impression
that vessels were not, (repeat not) now causing you
serious concern. We arc at present, at cost of con
siderable friction, withholding valuable facilities f^o^
Iranian Government in order to secure immobilisation of
vessels, and it is therefore important to know what
difference it would make to you if the crews and parts
of machinery were removed* Would it for instance
release one or more of His Majesty s ships for service
elsewhere? I should be grateful for early reply.
