Until the early nineteenth century, Iran was a remote and legendary country for Britain, so much so that the European country never seriously established a diplomatic center, such as a consulate or embassy. By the middle of the nineteenth century, Iran grew in importance as another neighbouring Buffer state to the United Kingdom's dominion over Imperial India. Britain fostered conflict between Iran and Afghanistan as a means of forestalling an Afghan invasion of British India.[1]
In the modern age, after the Partition of British India in 1947, the so-called Newly Independent India was no longer a neighbouring Empire to the State of Iran, although the relations between both the nations still remained steady.
