The Acting Secretary of State to the Secretary of State 91

Washington, September 8, 1945—5 p.m.

Secdel92 12. The Iranian Chargé d’Affaires93 called on me today, on urgent instructions from his government, to point out that the Tripartite Agreement between Great Britain, Russia, and Iran of January 29, 1942 provides that Iran shall be consulted in discussions concerning it in post-war conferences such as meeting of Council of Foreign Ministers.

He requested that the U.S. support actively at the London meeting Iran’s claim to be heard on the question of the evacuation of troops and on any other question of concern to Iran. I replied that I would transmit his government’s representations to you immediately.
