The Ambassador in Iran (Murray) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 2—11:15 a.m.]
1022. In reply to our oral inquiry Nabil of Foreign Office says note summarized in mytel 1020, November 29, was directed primarily at Soviets and that Iranian Government did not have in mind any specific affirmative assistance to be rendered by US Government agencies in restoring order in Azerbaijan.
He says however Iranian Government has been considering idea of requesting establishment of sort of supervisory commission composed of representatives of United States, Great Britain, Soviet Union, France and China whose function would be to watch over matters connected with presence foreign troops until they are all withdrawn March 2. He is uncertain whether this thought will be followed up.
Pending instructions from Department I am confining myself to simple acknowledgment of note under reference.
