چکیده:
After Iran entered the sphere of international politics in the early years of the nineteenth century until the occupation of Iran during World War II in 1320/1941, one of the main characteristics of Iran's foreign policy, with the exception of the first years after the victory of the October Revolution in Russia, was the competition between Britain and Russia and then the Soviet Union. During this period, some Iranian statesmen attempted to bring a third power (third force) into Iran, but this effort remained unsuccessful. The occurrence of World War II, Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union, the rapprochement between the Soviet Union and Britain, and finally, the occupation of Iran caused transformations in the field of Iran's foreign policy. One of the most important transformations was the British government's invitation to America to be present on the political scene in Iran, a matter that politicians favoring a third force in Iran also welcomed. An examination of documents and records indicates that the strategic position, oil and gas resources, along with Iran's commercial markets, made the US government interested in consolidating its position in this country. The strategy of American statesmen to achieve this goal was to defend the independence and territorial integrity of Iran, and the crisis in Iran-Soviet relations during World War II over the issue of Northern Oil provided the ground for achieving this goal. Given such a background, the basis of this research is formed by the following central question: What impact did the issue of Northern Oil in Iran-Soviet relations during World War II have on increasing American influence in Iran? The aim of writing this article is to answer the posed question, using a descriptive-analytical method and relying on library documents and sources.
خلاصه ماشینی:
The understanding between the two traditional rivals in Iran and the occupation of this country caused many Iranian elites, including Qavam, to conclude that the closeness of the Soviet Union and England had eliminated the opportunity to use the existing competition between the two powers by approaching one against the other; the only way to confront the consequences resulting from the cooperation of the two rivals in Iran was to involve the United States government in Iranian affairs through the granting of oil concessions to American oil companies (Zoghi, 1988: 188-189).
Hossein Masoudnia* A View on the Impact of the Northern Oil Issue on Increasing American Influence in Iran (1941-1947/1320-1326) Abstract (IB From Iran's entry into the sphere of international politics in the early years of the nineteenth century until the occupation of Iran during World War II in 1941/1320, one of the main characteristics of Iran's foreign policy, with the exception of the first years after the victory of the October Revolution in Russia, was the competition between England and Russia and then the Soviet Union.
This issue and its consequences, combined with the passive policy of the British government in Iran, provided a suitable opportunity for American leaders to increase their influence in Iran; thus, the main axis of the present research is formed by this question: What role did the crisis created in Iran-Soviet relations over the issue of northern oil during the years of World War II and thereafter play in increasing American influence in Iran?
