Abstract

The author, who was the U.K.'s charge d'affaires in Iran between 1953 and 1955 and his country's ambassador to Iran between 1963 and 1975, reminisces about the more interesting events of his ten years in this country. Breaking off diplomatic relations between the U.K. and Iran by Dr. Moussadeq, the then Iranian Prime Minister, and the resumption of these relations after his fall are narrated. D. Wright looks at the background of the riots in Iran in June 1963 and the U.K.'s decision to withdraw from the Persian Gulf by the end of 1971. (DÜI-Sen)
