According to the new doctrine of England, the British bases were evacuated in the lands east of the Suez waterway, including the Persian Gulf, until 1971 AD.

The Iranian government, which was in a superior position compared to other small emirates in the region, strongly supported the withdrawal of British forces. This issue became one of the basic principles of the foreign policy of the second Pahlavi government.
