Iran and Great Britain have agreed to end the dispute over the northern frontier of Persia by a peace in ‘Persian-style,’ which means that the frontier will be drawn according to the wishes of Tehran. The terms have not been made public, but it is understood that they include an undertaking on the part of Great Britain not to support any claimant to the throne of Persia, and on the part of Iran not to support any claimant to the throne of Afghanistan. The agreement has been signed, and ratifications exchanged. The agreement was signed in London yesterday, and ratifications were exchanged today. Thus a controversy which at one time threatened to become acute has been settled amicably, and in a manner honourable to both parties. The news was received with great satisfaction in Tehran, where it is regarded as a proof of the solidarity of the two nations, and a pledge of their permanent friendship.
