Subject - Iranian gang on the Iraqi border
Reference to your letter No. 5116 dated 11/16/1940
and its supplement, your letter No. 6316 dated 12/5/1940.
1 - Ali Agha al-Adhami, chief of the Kalhur tribes - as shown by the results of investigations
and continuous monitoring in the border areas connected to the Diyala Governorate - is still waiting for opportunities
to infringe upon Iraqi subjects, disturb their peace, and threaten their security. The members of the Iraqi
tribes, who are unarmed due to their poor financial status, have become a target for the attacks of this
man and his assistants. He has also become dominant over the Iranian tribes opposite the Mendali
area.
2 - Therefore, for the sake of maintaining security in that area, we suggest mediating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
to, in turn, approach the competent Iranian authorities to remove the aforementioned Ali Agha al-Adhami
from the borders. We also deem it advisable to provide some of the Iraqi border tribal chiefs
with a quantity of weapons to distribute to their tribesmen in preparation for defending themselves
and resisting any attacks occurring against them and their property.
