1. Gasiorowski, Mark J., “The Qarani Affair and Iranian Politics,” International Journal of Middle East Studies, 25:4 (November 1993), p. 628, 641Google Scholar, fn. 12. Gasiorowski does not explicitly name the individual, but it may be presumed that it was Dick Cottam. The article appeared under the title, “Unrest is Viewed as Threat in Iran,” on 2 January 1958, p. A5.

2. Gasiorowski, p. 638. Again, Cottam is not specifically identified by Gasiorowski, but it seems likely that he was involved. Gasiorowski makes the point that having the Embassy not inform the Shah of what Qaranah’i was up to was likely not the position of Allen Dulles or Richard Helms, then head of CIA’s covert operations division, but rather the preference of a senior official in the Agency’s Middle East section.
