Talk:Iran–United Kingdom relations

2007 Iranian seizure of Royal Navy Personnel

The section about this at the bottom of the page has a link I put in that takes the user to the article covering it, it doesn't seem to work, can anyone help? Thanks.Bananaman1966 00:25, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Chronology

I am no expert on Iran-UK relations but how can Sir Anthony Eden be a significant Briton involved in Iranian politics during the monarchy of Fath Ali Shah, when he was born 60 or so years after the Shah died.

Seconded. Eden nor Harold Nicolson were alive at the same time as Fath Ali Shah. Also, the Charles Christie linked appears to be a Hollywood director. Perhaps the wrong Christie? JSlayerUK (talk) 00:26, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Possible move to Anglo-Iranian relations?

To be consistent with other articles, should this be renamed? See Anglo-Australian relations, Anglo-Chinese relations, Anglo-French relations, Anglo-German relations, Anglo-Irish relations, Anglo-Japanese relations, and Anglo-American relations. There are a few other examples to the contrary, however. Tim (Xevious) 12:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I totally agree with changing the name. I like to add that for consistency with other articles such as Anglo-Persian Oil Company, Anglo-Persian War, Anglo-Persian Agreement, and Anglo-Persian Treaty of 1801, this article is better to be renamed to Anglo-Persian relations. As you may notice, Anglo-Iranian Oil Company is already redirected to Anglo-Persian Oil Company. --FakhredinBlog (talk) 10:18, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Quality

This is, as of April 13 07, an appallingly-written piece and full of non-sequiturs. It does not meet Wikipedia's quality standards, I feel.

Amazing that a page on British and Iran relation make no mention of MI6 or SIS

Wow when you read this, it kinda makes you foget that the British controled the Iran goverment for decades and were in partnership with the US involving the Shaw of Iran. Jacob805 (talk) 11:27, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Labels backward.

The legend for the info box is wrong, the UK is the Green island group just off europe whilst the Orange nation in the middle is Iran. I can't work out how to alter it so I'll remove it. could some one who can fix it do so and put it back?(Morcus (talk) 13:29, 24 June 2009 (UTC))

I've made a new map (File:Iran-United Kingdom.svg) in which I've switched the colours around, so it should be okay now. Jolly Ω Janner 20:25, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Underneath the map the color explaination for Iran is on the left while the one for the UK is on the right, should be reversed but I'm too drunk to figure it out to be honest. 24.47.2.89 (talk) 04:29, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Incorrect information

In the introduction the article states that prior to 1935 Iran was known as India. This is incorrect as prior to that year Iran was actually known as Persia. The correct previous name for Iran is stated in the article for that country. I'm changing the article to correct this slight error.

Rushdie Fatwah

The fatwah was not a call for his death, but a declaration that to kill him would not be sinful in Islamic terms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.151.224.70 (talk) 20:33, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Um... "In the name of God the Almighty. We belong to God and to Him we shall return. I would like to inform all intrepid Muslims in the world that the author of the book Satanic Verses, which has been compiled, printed, and published in opposition to Islam, the Prophet, and the Qur'an, and those publishers who were aware of its contents, are sentenced to death. I call on all zealous Muslims to execute them quickly, where they find them, so that no one will dare to insult the Islamic sanctity. Whoever is killed on this path will be regarded as a martyr, God-willing." Not sure how that isn't a call for execution. --Cabazap (talk) 22:14, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Zaghari-Ratcliffe

One of the key points regarding current Anglo-Iranian relations is that of the detention of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe - should this page not at least reference Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and perhaps the 1971 arms deal as well? 84.13.36.104 (talk) 17:03, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe seems to be a big omission — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.152.152 (talk) 11:54, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

 Done I agree, I have added a paragraph on this though I am sure it could be improved. |→ Spaully ^~talk~  16:41, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
