Telegram from John B. Jackson to Elihu Root

John B. Jackson, United States Diplomat to Persia, writes that diplomatic representatives have been told to push Shah Muẓaffar al-Dīn Shāh of Iran to honor his constitutional oath. Russian Minister Pyotr Arkadyevich Stolypin and British chargé d’affaires Cecil Spring Rice have special interests and do not favor joint or individual action by the others. Jackson writes that action could lead to stronger parliamentary influence and help protect the Shah. The country is in anarchy and he asks for further instructions.
