[edit] Incomplete

The TransIranian railway was not necessarily complete when Anglo-Soviet forces invaded. Some road haulage was necessary to complete the link.

• That is covered in the Persian Corridor article and isn't related to the invasion itself, so I think it's okay that that fact isn't mentioned. --Loopy 20:06, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Azerbaijan Province

The Aftermath section mentions a pro-Soviet regime in Azerbaijan Province. Modern Iran has both an East Azerbaijan and a West Azerbaijan. Were these historically one province, or were puppet governments established in both?

[edit] merged

I merged the contents of Operation Countenance here as the two articles were duplicative. I thought about making that article cover solely the military operations of the invasion, with this one addressing the background (u r a chode) and aftermath and such, but didn't think there was enough material to warrant splitting the articles yet. If the section on military operations expands it could be spun back out into a subarticle of this one, with {{main}} links as needed. I mostly left the incoming links alone in case someone decides to do this. —Charles P._(Mirv) 16:44, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
