    In this article the author proves that Bahrain has been a part of Persian land since the Achamenids era and has always been a Persian state, based on existing documents and legal international arguments around Persian authority over the island of Bahrain before its independence from Iran in 1971. Of course, it should be mentioned that after an interruption (1507-1622) during which the colonial Portuguese took the control of Bahrain at the time of Safavid Shah Abbas, Persian dominance on Bahrain continued ever after despite different domestic developments in Persian main land. In 1783 Al Khalifa family from the tribe of Bani-atoob in Najd desert attacked Bahrain and conquered it, however, immediately after seizure, they identified the higher authority of Persia and just like the other local semi-independent governors inside the Persian Empire and based on the historic tradition in this empire accepted Persian authority over Bahrain. The evidence of Al Khalifa subordination to Persian government are exposed in a wide range including rising the Persian flag, obeying the commands, and showing obedience by writing to the Persian government. It is only after the rise of Sheik Issa Ben Ali Al Khalifa to power by the help of the British in 1869 when the Persian authority on Bahrain is interrupted. However, this interrupt was not based on international legal procedures and was totally illegitimate. Persian government, as historic owner of Bahrain, had never conceded or ignored her authority over Bahrain. There was no riot or rise against the Persian government and even no campaign to seize this land by foreigners. There was also no government in Bahrain and this island never became independent from Persia and claimed to be an independent country. The story was impeding Persian authority over this island by the British colonial military power. As the legal government of Bahrain Island, Persia had never accepted British authority over it and the Persian government has rejected any means of British authority. So, there was no government as “Bahrain Government” in this island until Iran accepted its independence in 1970 and the British could never find any legitimacy over this island.

    In the article of “An infiltrator in the House of Ayatollah”, the reader gets familiar with the life and struggles of Ayatollah Kashani who has and effective role in Iranian contemporary history during his 6 decades of struggle through SAVAK documents about him. The documents used in this article are published before in 2000 in a 2-volume book which includes 500 documents gathered by Markaz-a Barrassi Asnad-e Tarikhi (Center for Surveying Historical Documents). These documents include written communications and reports of Provincial Administrations, the Police, Army Staff, G2, SAVAK and … about the activities of Ayatollah Kashani. This unique documentary collection is gathered by SAVAK Archive. Some of them are the reports of interrogations, pursuit and watches, telephone eavesdropping, and information sources. However, these documents only cover one part of Ayatollah Kashani’s struggles. So the methodology used by the author in this article is focused on Ayatollah Kashani’s life and his political interactions with four other active elements, i.e. Shah and governments, nationalists and Mossadegh government, Islamists, Marxists and Tudeh party. The author has tried to represent an exact view of Ayatollah Kashani’s positions for the readers. The reports which this article is focused on are mostly the ones written by a especial infiltrator inside Ayatollah’s house for the security officials. Although it is not possible to reveal all the aspects of social and political life of ayatollah Kashani, but there are many unknown angles of his life that now can be represented in a documented way to all the interested people in contemporary history.
