The Ambassador in Iran (Morris) to the Secretary of State

154. Foreign Minister Entezam, who seemed much worried, told me last night that Molotov in his latest interview with Iranian Ambassador Ahy, had pointedly renewed Soviet complaint against asserted anti-Russian attitude of Iranian Government. Molotov made special reference to law forbidding oil concessions and said Soviets were holding it against Iran. This interview was subsequent to Yalta Conference.
