My telegram No e 257; Persian note about Soviet
propaganda.
Persian press has published text of Soviet reply dated
6th April. Dote states that Steinberg 1 s lecture was
concerned solely with the Persian Governments policy towards
the Soviet Union including the perfidious rejection of the
oil agreement and that Steinberg^ allusions to the
activities of the United States mission were based on facts.
Those mentioned in the Soviet note of 31st January (my
despatch No. 34 of February 4th).
2. Note goes on "it is self evident that statements made
by an interpreter of public opinion" or by a Soviet press
correspondent about Persia*s unfriendly policy towards the
U.S.S.R. cannot justify protests by the Persian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
3. In conclusion the note refers to propaganda in the
form of articles and caricatures against the U.S,S„R.
published in certain Tehran papers since last January
attributing aggressive designs to Russia and ridiculing
Soviet leaders, and it requests that this "slanderous
propaganda" be discontinued.

About this item
- Content
This file contains papers relating to a constitutional crisis in Iran during 1947. The papers are mostly secret diplomatic reports on the fluid political situation in Tehran. The papers are mainly correspondence between the British ambassador to Tehran and the Foreign Office in London, but also include a few newspaper clippings of the Iranian press at the time.
The crisis in question was premeditated by the refusal of the Soviet Union to relinquish occupied Iranian territory in Azerbaijan following the Second World War. This lead to a series of domestic conflicts in Iran that involved the Tudeh party, Prime Minister Ahmad Qavam, the Shah of Persia, and the British forces that had occupied southern Iran. The papers include reports on various meetings with the Shah by the British Ambassador in Tehran, as well as more detailed reports on various political factions and parties within Iran, and their respective external allies. Several reports mention the implications for, and involvement of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in the crisis, and the future Prime Minister, Mohammed Mossaddegh. The file also includes a summary of the Persian Government's seven year development plan.
