My immediately preceding telegram.
United States military advisers in Persia.
Following is summary of principle press reactions to
Soviet note.
Of seven important dailies so far commenting on recent
note, tv/o openly side with U. S.S.R., one blames United
States and remaining four strongly criticise Soviet action.
Mardom, organ of Tudeh Party, has so far refrained from
comment.
2. Irane Ma (Left) connecting note with bill for
American arms loan rejected suggestion that U.S.b.R. intends
to compel Iran to abandon her neutrality, a term interpreted
variously by different powers. Ghiyam Iran (Left) also
connects note with arms loan and approves Soviet arguments.
It agrees that action of American officers on frontier is a
violation of 1921 Treaty and emphasises notes peremptory tone
3. Dal (Moderate Left) interprets note as attempt by
U.S.S.R. to reject arms loan bill and considers it
consequence of Governments vacillating foreign policy and
Far Ministry’s action in establishing restricted frontier
zones. Paper considers presence of military and gendarmerie
missions unnecessary and damaging to Irano Soviet good
relations. Mehre, Iran (moderate) questions U.S.S.R. ? s
right to object to Persia obtaining loan and military advice
from United States, emphasising Persian independence it
criticises Soviet habit of interpreting every Persian action
to improve her defence on economy as directed against Soviet
Union.
4. Atesh (Right) reports denial by member of American
Military Mission that airfield had been built at Qura or any
other secret military works undertaken. It regards Soviet
note as interference amounting to aggression. Mihan (Right)
says while note might have been submitted toQavam Government,
its submission to Hakimi is astonishing since latter is
doing utmost to create good relations with U.S.S.R. and has
recently excluded all American advisers from frontier area.
5. Kishvar (connected with Sayed Zia) ridicules Soviet
suggestion that Persia is party to aggressive designs on
U.S.S.R. and states that Persia should not be made to bear
the brunt of Soviet campaign against America.
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.
