چکیده:
One of the most important challenges and debates raised in the works and documents of Iran's post-constitutional elites has been the discussion about American economic developments, especially in oil industry. After the initial discovery of oil in Iran during the period of Muzafar al-Din Shah Qajar, we witnessed the emergence of Political elites who gradually wanted to rely on the American model (as a third force) if progress in this field and to use these methods and appriaches for the development of iran. This present article is written with a historical approach and based on the interpretation of press texts and unpublished documents, tries to clarify how progressives and media groups managed to convince government officials to take advantage of in the oil industry as a model. Documents and debates show that Iranians, following the constitutional revolution the writtings of the modernists became aware of the prosperity and flourishing of American oil industry and its impact of the country's economy, thes awarness, in turn caused the scientific and political elites to realise more than ever the ignorance of Iranians in the field of oil industry and the chaotic situation of management their underground resources. In thid way, while adopting comparative approaches about achievements of America and Iran began criticized and writing critical texts to influence the Iranian polititians and statemen. the statemen of iran were affected by the atmosphere of modernist writings and sought to obtain information and understand the importance of this issue, so that with the help of their diplomats in America, they took practical steps to emulate and bring Americans achievements to Iran
خلاصه ماشینی:
The elites and journalists of Iran, in this regard, first criticized Iranian government officials for not paying attention to exploiting underground resources and then proposed solutions to solve this problem; including emulating America and developing trade relations with this country, because at that time America could meet Iran's needs; on the one hand, this country followed the Monroe Doctrine and had no colonial ambitions, and on the other hand, it had technical, financial capabilities and extensive oil companies.
To prove this claim, it is necessary to refer to the letter Aliqoli Khan wrote to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he writes: “From several important American capitalists, several contracts were submitted to me to obtain the extraction of all of Iran’s mines and also oil resources that are in various parts of the country, I presented them to the Iranian authorities, and I was willing to provide whatever amount of money was necessary for Iran and the progress of Iran’s natural resources from America.
According to the obtained documents, in addition to Iranian diplomats in Washington, other political elites and even the Iranian consul in Karbala made every effort to encourage government officials to emulate and bring specialists from America to Iran; Therefore, they sought to describe and reflect the progress of this country and demanded a transformation of the situation of Iran’s oil industry with the help of specialists and American companies.
