With the outbreak of World War I, the British military command established and began operating nine post offices in Abadan, Ahvaz, and other parts of southern Iran. After the end of the war, the Iranian government, on the one hand as an independent government that wanted to participate in the Universal Postal Congress and on the other hand to benefit from postal revenues, opened the door to correspondence with the British embassy in Tehran and asked the British government to dissolve its nine offices in southern Iran and hand them all over to the Iranian government. This article, using a documentary-analytical research method based on documents from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, aims to answer this question of how the Iranian government faced British post offices in the midst of the incompetence resulting from the countless damages of the war and the many internal disturbances, and what measures did it take to end the colonial domination of England through the Postal Monopoly Act? The results of this research confirm the fact that government officials who were the guardians of national interests and in charge of postal affairs during this period, were not only aware of the colonial and totalitarian practices of the British, but also did not refrain from any action referred to in this article to protect national interests and realize the violated rights of the Iranian people during the turmoil resulting from World War I and the internal chaos of the country.
Keywords:
