“...fully resolved
to defend Turkish territory, and all the propaganda in the
world, whether the fatuous voicings of Nazi agents or the
appearance of additional divisions on the Turkish frontier
will not affect this intention in the slightest.
Germans in Iran
The representations made to Teheran by the Soviet and
British Governments have brought plainly before the Shah’s
Government the obvious risks entailed in the presence of
large numbers of German subjects in Iran. The object
lesson provided by Iraq should have made the warning
unnecessary, but it is possible that the Iranian Govern-
ment believed that Iran’s greater remoteness from possible
spheres of operations made it unlikely that the country
would be used for subversive activities.
But it is a cardinal principle of Nazi strategy to cause
trouble anywhere with a view to distracting the attention
of the Allies, and it is satisfactory to learn that a number
of Germans are leaving Iran, and that it is understood to
be the intention of the...”

sian oilfields. In Odessa, on the Black Sea, and Kiev, it
offers two prizes, the capture of either of which would be
trumpeted by German propaganda to stimulate the home-
land and to influence the remaining neutrals. But there
is more in the move than that. It represents the traditional
German drive to the East. The Axis offensive in Libya
has been effectively dealt with, and before very long the
Germans and Italians before Tobruk and in the frontier
area may have an unpleasant surprise. The Iraq coup
failed, and so did the Syrian episode, but so far from
giving up, the Ukraine offensive means that the Germans
are trying anew to find a doorway to the Middle East. The
fact that the move has been accompanied by renewed
pressure on Turkey is significant. Obviously, the Nazis
believe that if they were able to occupy Odessa they would
be in a much better position to influence Turkish policy,
and they have undoubtedly done their best to make capital
at Ankara out of the Anglo-Russian alliance...”

Watch Over The Iranian Scene
British and Russian Good Faith
By KENNETH WILLIAMS
No observer of the international scene, even were he
quite ignorant of the mischief wrought during the 1914-18
war by the Germans in Persia—as Iran was then called—
could be in any doubt of the menace which Nazi agents
in the land neighbouring Afghanistan, on the one hand, and
Iraq, on the other, might, if unchecked, present to the
Middle Eastern situation. Iran is so situated that the
Nazis, with what disaffected elements from outside Iran
they can muster, would naturally try to create for themselves
a favoured position therein and to endeavour thence to
undermine the esteem in which Britain is held by the Muslim
world.
Germany’s efforts to sway the neutrality to which the
Shah and his people pledged themselves at the outset of
hostilities have been unsuccessful, but the failure has not
been due to want of trying. So numerous did Nazi agents
become that the attention...”
