Iranian Postal authorities in Bushire and Bandar abbas to accept
mail irom Bahrain was due to spontaneous action on the part of
the Iranian Government in support of their claim to Bahrain and
not to the refusal of the Postal authorities in India to treat
Bahrain as an office of exchange for parcels. It appears from
Britconsul, Bushire 1 s telegram No. T/250 of the 12th august
1940 that the trouble has now blown over at any rate for the
time being, but I am to sav that the Government of India would
be willing to consider favourably any suggestions from you,
short of action which could be construed as admission of Bahrain
as an Iranian Post Office, for amicable settlement of existing
difficulties even if they involved some modification of the
attitude taken up in their express letter No. D.3669-N/39 of the
19th January 194 0.
