Abstract
The Allies intention in occupying Iran and imposing the Tripartite pact -in which the British were mostly involved- was largely to intervene Quai-legally and generally in Iranian internal affairs and to do anything that would be favorable to the Allies in general and to Britain in particular. Therefore, the British did their best to interfere widely in Iran domestic affairs especially in economy. The economic aspect of the occupation in part and in general, was of paramount importance and benefit for the British, but very harmful in short and long-terms for the Iranian people and government, because its outcomes lasted tangibly during decades and left effects on Iran political , economical , cultural and social structures.
This paper is intended to study the various aspects of the British intervention in Iranian internal affairs during the Allied occupation and its outcomes.
