Subject: Granting a visa to an Iranian scholar
The Iraqi Legation in Tehran requested the General Liaison for its opinion on granting an entry visa
to the Iranian scholar, Mr. Sultan Ali bin Muhammad al-Iraqi. The Liaison responded after investigation
that nothing appeared against his conduct, and left the matter of granting him the visa to this Ministry ⟦directly⟧
And since the person referred to was in fact in Najaf and has joint property with his relatives there,
we have requested the General Liaison to conduct an investigation into the reasons for the aforementioned leaving Iraq
to Iran and when that was, and their information about them, while stating whether his previous
residency period in Iraq has expired ⟦or not⟧ to avoid embarrassment. Therefore, I request considering
the case closed.

It appears that the visa rejected for the researcher Alaeddin is also being inspected in Iran
and he has nothing to indicate it; give an opinion regarding the aforementioned on one hand,
and on the other hand, he holds the rank of Secretariat issued to him on 6/2/1939 (No. 9),
and although he was removed under his shadow as per the article on 4/2/1940, the duration of
his residency expired while his inspection was under investigation. Therefore, and based on
the aforementioned reasons, granting him the visa by which he is usually allowed to return and enter
Iraq. Should he be telegraphed there regarding the non-renewal of his visa in Iran ⟦or not⟧?
