which protested to the United Na
tions over the presence of Russi
an troops in its oil rich territory,
formally aligned itself with United
States in opposing the Soviet re
quest that the meeting of the
eleven nation security council be
delayed sixteen days.

meeting from Monday to April 10,
would “inevitably result in in
creased harm to the interests of
Iran.” Hussein Ala, Iranian Am
bassador said in a letter to try
to give the lie to the UNO secre
tary general. The Iranian letter
came several hours after Prseident
Truman declared the scheduled
meeting of the security council
wouldn’t be postponed. The United

tion in the Iranian case.
