- Description:
- Abstract: The file concerns the extent of territorial waters claimed by the Government of Persia (also referred to as Iran). The British Government held that in the absence of international agreement, three miles was the extent of territorial waters, but the Persian Government claimed distances of up to twelve miles at various times. The issue is discussed by various British officials, especially the Foreign Office, Admiralty, and HM Minister, Tehran. Folios 84-120 discuss Persian jurisdiction over the outer anchorage in Bushire. Folios 9-79 discuss the concession area held by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, in view of the fact that potential oil fields lay under the Persian Gulf, partly beyond the three-mile limit, but within the twelve-mile limit claimed by the Persian Government.The French language content of the file consists of six folios of diplomatic correspondence between British and Persian officials.The file includes a divider, which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence commences at the inside front cover with 1, and terminates at the last folio with 230; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is present in parallel between ff 2-229; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled.
