	To Kiarostami or Not To Kiarostami: Iranian Cinema in Transition at Chicago's 14th Festival of Films From Iran
		"Abadan," as the director is proud to explain, doesn't abide by any of the conventions that made Iranian cinema such an international success in the '90s.
		And "Abadan" is less likely to make international waves than a film with more Kiarostamian influences, such as Alireza Amini's "Letters in the Wind," another debut film, and surely the most solid and beautifully crafted work in the festival.
		While "Abadan" director Haghighi maintained his cordial relationships with the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance during the festival, and told audiences that he was recutting the film to abide by certain strictures and appeared confident that an Iranian theatrical release was forthcoming, Jamsheed Akrami was far less forgiving.

Both countries pledged to establish a convention regarding pilotage and maritime installations.

	Contemporary British History - Abstracts
		The Abadan crisis was the initial phase of the protracted crisis in Anglo-Persian relations 1951—54, precipitated by Persia’s nationalisation of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company in May 1951.
		This article examines Conservative perceptions and behaviour during the Abadan crisis, as the experience proved a vital formative influence upon the later Suez Group, the vociferous Tory backbench pressure group which played a contributory role in the Eden government’s decision to confront Nasser in 1956.
		As the Crisis developed, he became increasingly concerned about the implications of a continued commitment to a policy of force and the closeness of French relations with Israel — a worry which was reflected in his warning to Eden about the supply of French Mystere fighters to Israel.

		Housing crisis and shortages of amenities and services long remained a major concern of the Company as well as the Municipality, as well as a bone of contention between them and between the Company and the Central Government.
