During the Qajar era, eastern Iran was an important arena for the direct presence of foreigners in the international relations arena, due to its special strategic location, the autonomy of its ruling families, and the weakness of the central government there. One of the most influential figures in this region at the end of this period was "Shaukat al-Mulk II" (1881-1944 AD). A person who was known during his reign for collaborating with the British and establishing the most extensive relations with them. The present study has examined the nature of these relationships and positions using library, documentary, and interview sources, as well as the historical method and descriptive-analytical approach. The main question of this research is: "What were Shaukat al-Mulk Alam's relations with the British in the province of Qaynat and what effects did these relations have on this region?". But based on the main question, the findings of the research are: Shaukat al-Molk, aware of the weakness of the Qajars, established friendly relations with the British during his reign to maintain his leadership and stabilize his position, and made eastern Iran a safe base for them. However, these friendly relations in regional affairs led to weakness and decline in various matters, especially in economic matters, and led to the spread of social discontent..

World War II, like World War I, despite its declaration of neutrality soon swamped Iran, its strategic position to help the Soviets overcome Germany paved the way for the British, US, and Soviet powers to occupy Iranian territory. The US military presence in Iran has been analyzed from the same perspective. As helping the Soviet Union and trying to strengthen the supply corridor of the Soviet front. The question of the paper is whether the US presence in Iran was merely to help the Soviet Union, or whether the US, by withdrawing from the policy of the Monroe Doctrine, was practically seeking to play a role beyond that and seek to play a role in important and strategic regions of the world. In this article, using the method of historical research and the use of American documents, we seek to answer the contexts and reasons for the presence of this country in Iran during World War II. Our assumption is based on the fact that the United States, with sufficient knowledge of the strategic importance of the Persian Gulf during the war and also the day after the war, planned for a long-term presence and proceeded accordingly. The findings of the study also indicate that the United States, using various methods while inclining Iranian politicians to the West, by establishing a base and implementing policies to orient public opinion in Iran, has a long-term plan to be present in the Persian Gulf.

The trade of weapons greatly prospered during the years before World War I in the Persian Gulf. The easy access of British opposition forces in India to these weapons was prompted by British authorities’ efforts to ban this trade in the Persian Gulf. In this regard by British referring, the trade of weapons in Iran was banned by the Iranian authorities in 1881/ 1897 AD. Bushehr, a major port in the Persian Gulf and Iran during the Qajar era, was one of the main centers of trade of weapon. The social and tribal conditions of the southern regions of Iran had fueled this trade in Bushehr.The present study is a historical and analytical-explanatory approach based on library sources and unconventional documents with this question that following the prohibition of weapon trade in the Persian Gulf and Iran, what factors led to the continued entrance of weapon into the form of smuggling to Bushehr, as the center of weapon distribution in the southern areas of Iran? Hypothesis: Analyzes and evaluates the profits of the weapon trade and the social conditions and tribal structure of the southern regions that led to the proliferation of weapon entrance to Bushehr through smuggling. Historical findings and evidence indicate that the weapon trade in Bushehr was not disrupted as a trading center and continued in the form of smuggling.
