159 years ago, on November 27, 1856, equivalent to December 6, 1235 AH, England ordered an expedition to Iran to separate Afghanistan from Iran.!
The British forces stationed in India crossed the Strait of Hormuz with several gunships and carriers and entered the Persian Gulf to go to war with Iran.. 27 days before that (November 1, 1856) The British government had declared war on Iran-Iran, which is connected to the sea in the north and south but lacked an effective navy. The government of London, which has dominated the Indian subcontinent and considered itself its owner, wanted to create a buffer zone between London's India and Russia's possessions and the territory of Tehran's government, which had better relations with Russia, and gave eastern Iran, which it called Afghanistan, to tribal leaders. Leave it and separate. In September and October of that year, the government of London asked Tehran to withdraw its soldiers and agents from Herat and the Tajik-inhabited areas that did not have a tribal structure, and because Tehran, instead of agreeing, increased the number of its troops and agents in those areas after a warning. had declared war and sat for six days waiting for Tehran's response to this war declaration. In the meantime, because London did not receive an answer, on November 6th, it ordered its ruler in India to send troops and gunships to capture Bushehr, Khark and Khorramshahr.. London was well aware of the situation in Tehran and knew that it did not have enough forces to send to the south, nor was it possible to mobilize the local southern forces and the local civilian volunteers by the British forces until January 1, 1857. (Just two months after the declaration of war) Khark, Khorramshahr and Bushehrera port (Not all of this area, where the local volunteers fiercely resisted and inflicted casualties on the British) They seized and the government of Iran at that time (who was probably unaware of the continued resistance of the Fars people) forced to abandon Herat, which has been the ruling seat of Khorasan for centuries, the birthplace of Shah Abbas and one of the centers of culture and literature in Iran.
