and another Persian boat in the
roadstead of Khassab on Khordad 22nd (June 12th) was duly
received and enquiries were made from the competent quarters.
2. From the detailed information received on the
subject it appears that the report received by His Britannic
Majesty's Legation in Tehran is untrue as at the date mentioned
(in your note) none of the ships of the Imperial Navy have been
within the limits of Muscat and that motor-launch No.6 which
is at the disposal of the Customs was on that date stationed
at Bandar Abbas and has not left there.
3. With regard to the important question which arises
in this connexion relating to the Intervention of His
Britannic Majesty's Legation in the matter of the complaint of
the Sheikh of Muscat, I have the honour to refer you to the
last paragraph of my note No.18103 of today.
Your esteemed note of Murdad 12th 1312 (August
I avail, etc.

About this item
- Content
Correspondence concerning reports of a Persian warship operating in Muscat territorial waters. The vessel was seen off Khassab, Oman. Much of the correspondence discusses what grounds exist for a British protest to the Persian Government over the incident, with reference to international law and agreements between the British and the Persians (1897) and the British and the Sultan of Muscat (1898) (see folios 95-100), upon which the Persian right to be in Muscat waters was based. Details of other similar incidents to be used against the Persians are included in the papers (folios 3-4 and 18). Further correspondence deals with the need to retain British rights should the Sultan annul any historical proclamations connected to the matter.
The principal correspondents include officials at the Political Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. , Government of India (Foreign and Political Department), India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947.
