I have the honour to refer to your tel a ,^raai No#

decision of the Angelo ■‘Iranian Oil Company to continue
the M lfla^ce-up T, payment until the *»nd of the war in Turope#

the announcement but it came obviously from one of the
Persian Govern lent Departments. Its terns vere misleading
and tendenoious, and left the impression that the amount
of the "royal-iies" wiiiah th® Company hound themselves to
pay under tne termb of th^ concession hed been increased
tc £4 laillion sterling for th* period of the war.
After o on suit at ion wit'-" "ic^, ’ thought it
aavisaole # to as*i the 7 r Minister to issue an authoritative
cominuniqTie on the suhjin the terms of the attached
oraft of which I handed him ^ copy. M ’:th some reluctance,
the 'rim* in is ter under took to coaply with ®y requeue*
4# The co.nrnumqu^ appeared in the paper "Ittila ! at"
in the evening of 12th June, wi th r? short article
expressing appr^ciation of the action of His Majesty's
Government and the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company#
5. Up to 16tii June, 1943, the coimunihad not
appeared in any other newspaper; hut as I have secured
a public announcement on the subject from the n -=rni?in
Government in a representative Tehran newspaper with
a wide circulation, I ao not propose to taice any further
}AOtion in the matter.
I have the concur to b c , with the hi £.n.e s t respect,

Correspondence concerning diplomatic relations between the British and Persian Governments over the concession and operations of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company Limited (from 1935, Anglo-Iranian Oil Company Limited), referred to as APOC hereafter. The file includes: correspondence dated 1933 to 1935 from the British Consul at Kermanshah, reporting progress of the construction of APOC’s oil refining facilities at Kermanshah; correspondence dated 1939 and 1940 reporting on the Shah of Persia [Reza Shah Pahlavi] and his Government’s efforts to renegotiate the terms of the APOC concession, in light of the heightened strategic importance of APOC’s oil production to Britain during wartime conditions; correspondence dated 1941 reporting on wartime developments, the likelihood of German occupation of Iran, and the threat to APOC oil production in the country. The file also includes: two bound and printed copies of the APOC Concession 1933-1993, printed in French and English, and accompanied by a fold-out map of the concession area (ff 127-149, ff 150-172); an illustrated brochure, published by APOC in 1924 to commemorate the company’s stand at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924 (ff 109-126).
