In the 1940s / 1960s, major changes appeared in the strategic area of the Persian Gulf, of which the withdrawal of British forces was one of the most important consequences. According to the new doctrine of England, the British bases were evacuated in the lands east of the Suez waterway, including the Persian Gulf, until 1971 AD. After the official announcement of this issue, the Western world, led by the United States, raised the issue of the power vacuum and expressed their concern about its possible unfortunate consequences. The Iranian government, which was in a superior position compared to other small emirates in the region, strongly supported the withdrawal of British forces. This issue became one of the basic principles of the foreign policy of the second Pahlavi government. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the reasons for Iran's stance against the issue of England's withdrawal from the Persian Gulf in the late 1940s/1960s.

The research method is the historical analysis using the library method, and it deals with how Iran confronts and challenges the new strategy of the London statesmen.

it is concluded that the second Pahlavi government was influenced by a set of internal factors and international approaches, in complete opposition to the continued presence of British military forces in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea.

The findings of the research show that the withdrawal of British forces from the maritime borders of the southern Persian Gulf and the acceptance of changes in these lines were forced and under the influence of regional and international factors.

One of the issues followed by the English as a way to reach their ends was establishing telegraph office and consulate in the Persian Gulf so that they could follow their purposes in the area. The telegraph office connected Mumbai to Masghat, Hengam Island, Qeshm, Bandare -Abbas, Kerman, and finally Tehran. The telegraph office could transmit the news very rapidly, and the British government’s orders were received very soon via it. The British government’s efforts to establish some political centers in order to create some privacy in other countries was a result of British imposition of military power in different areas of the world specially in the Persian Gulf and Iran. England’s consulates were established in Iran’s different cities like Isfahan, Yazd, Kerman, Mashhad, Shiraz, and Bandare- Abbas. Each of these consulates was administered by England’s consulate in Tehran. When necessary, some of these consulates made contacts to London directly. Therefore, British consulates in the Persian Gulf, Boushehr, and Bandare- Abbas were of great importance.
