Atlantic Charter fuels Middle East tensions in Persia crisis
In a wartime column the author links Syria and Iran to the Atlantic Charter, warning that Persian fears of foreign domination persist. He recalls 1907 to 1921 British and Russian influence, Teheran’s plea for US help, and Persia’s push for an Allied agreement to prevent renewed domination. The piece frames postwar power dynamics and the role of the United States as a potential buffer.
