Subsequent negotiations with the AIOC were unsuccessful, partly because General Ali Razmara, who became prime minister in June 1950, failed to persuade the oil company of the strength of nationalist feeling in the country and in the Majlis.

In the political discourse of the modernist nationalists, the traditional understanding of the state and its definition through the person of the souvereign had become questionable and the traditional symbols of statehood had lost their meaning.
For these circles, the portrait of Mohammad Ali Shah in his full coronation habit did no longer represent the authority of the state, but much more epitomized the political system that was responsible for the country’s present lamentable situation.
The stamps did not immediately reflect the political events and developments that occured during those years, but their motives indicate that a far-reaching change had taken place in the political culture of Iran in the wake of these events.
