During the tenure of John Haller Le Rougetel as ambassador to Tehran, the northern part of Persia was occupied by the Red Army. Ahmad Qavam had signed an agreement in Moscow on April 4, 1946, which promised Soviet companies the exploitation of oil reserves in the northern part of Persia. The agreement still had to be implemented into Iranian law by parliament. The Soviet ambassador in Tehran was Ivan Sadchikow, he came to Persia on August 12, 1946 and promoted the agreement.

John Helier Le Rougetel had no objections to the agreement because of the distribution of spheres of influence (north: to Russia, south to British) in The Great Game . In contrast, US Ambassador George V. Allen wanted to apply the Truman Doctrine .
