President Truman's Remarks to W. Averell Harriman Before His Departure on a Mission to Iran.

July 13, 1951

THE PRESIDENT. I want to express to you my appreciation for your willingness to undertake this trip to Iran. It is a very important job that you have undertaken, and one which I think you can handle with satisfaction and success.

All of us want to wish you a pleasant trip, and I hope that you will express to the Iranian Government that our interest is the interest of world peace, and the welfare of Iran and the rest of the world.

We have no selfish interest in the matter whatever.

President Truman's News Conference

August 23, 1951

[...] [Reading] "I have been most disappointed to learn of the suspension of the negotiations in Tehran between the British delegation and the Iranian Government, which we had hoped would lead to a settlement of the Iranian oil question.

"Since these conversations have been suspended rather than completely broken off, it remains my hope that a solution will eventually be found agreeable to both parties. It has been clear during the course of negotiations that both Iran and Great Britain sincerely desire a settlement, and in view of this fact I am confident that an arrangement can ultimately be worked out.

"Mr. Harriman has worked long and tirelessly in an effort to bring the parties together, and to set the stage for a settlement, and his activities have had my complete support. His letter to Prime Minister Mosadeq of August 21 summarizes very clearly the American point of view on the steps which led to the suspension of the conversations and the views that Mr. Harriman put forward reflect my own and the State Department's."

Extrait de l'article 36 [paragraphe 40] du Conseil de Sécurité des Nations dans le conflit entre l'Iran et la Grande Bretagne

At the 560th meeting on 15 October 1951, after the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company staff had been expelled from Iran, the representative of the United Kingdom submitted a draft resolution 8_6/ declaring that a dispute existed, the continuance of which vas likely to threaten the maintenance of international peace and security, and calling for the resumption of negotiations to resolve differences in accordance with the principles of the provisional measures handed down by the Court. Discussion on the draft resolution gave rise to the question whether the dispute was one in respect of which the Council might make recommendations under Article 36.
