Trans Caucasian Front. Report by Joint Intelligence Sub-Committee

1 Aug 1941

in the Baku area there might well be some conflict of interests. If, however, Russian forces were to remain at this stage in North Persia they would be dependent to a large extent on the same land routes through Tabriz and Julfa as the British forces. Under these circumstances it would be most difficult to maintain an even flow of traffic for the British troops. Any heavy use of Persian routes at this stage for transporting large quantities of British and American supplies to Krasnovodsk would obviously restrict the British to the land route through Tabriz.
