Who restored a concession for Anglo-Persian in Persia in 1933?

• A. James Callaghan
• B. John Cadman
• C. Anthony Eden
• D. Harold Macmillan

Answer: (B)

Negotiating and securing oil rights in Persia in 1933 was handled by a British representative with deep experience in the oil industry. Sir John Cadman led the effort to renew the Anglo-Persian concession, traveling to Tehran to finalize terms that would allow continued exploration and production by the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. His role as a senior executive and diplomat in the oil sector made him the natural choice to restore the concession and maintain British influence over Persia’s oil resources. The other figures were prominent British politicians, not the negotiator responsible for this specific concession renewal in that year.
