The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State

London, August 23, 1941—midnight.
[Received August 23—8:20 p.m.]

3840. Personal for the Secretary of State. This morning I talked with Mr. Eden. He wanted you to know how seriously they view the German agents in Iran. The British are certain that their negotiations with the Iran Government are being directed by the Germans. I felt Mr. Eden was simply asking for a sympathetic understanding of their problem.
