Tension with Ahmad Shah Qajar
Even before the dethronement of his brother
Zia'eddin Tabatabaee informed them that Mohammad Hassan Mirza was "very dissatisfied with the shah and fears for safety of Persia from the Bolsheviks...",[2] and that "he [Mohammad Hassan Mirza] is prepared to form new government as he considers the Shah useless...".[2] Mohammad Hassan Mirza proposals were ignored, except by Percy Cox who was the former attache of Britain in Iran.[1] Herman Norman who was current British diplomat to Iran thought of the dethronement of Ahmad Shah Qajar by his brother as a tactical mistake which would divide Persia; "[I am prevented] from encouraging any movement which has for its object dethronement of His Majesty. It is also my duty to do my best to preserve the unity of Persia".[1]
