امتياز رويتر
امتياز رويتر Reuter concession كان عقداً في 1872 بين البارون جوليوس دى رويتر (المولود بإسم إسرائيل بئر يهوشفاط)، المصرفي ورجل الأعمال البريطاني، مع ناصر الدين شاه قاجار، شاه فارس القاجاري. أعطاه الامتياز سيطرة على الطرق والتلغراف والمطاحن والمصانع واستخراج الموارد الطبيعية والأعمال العامة الأخرى مقابل stipulated sum for 5 years and 60% of all the net revenue for 20 years. The concession was so immense that even imperialists like Lord Curzon characterized it as the most complete grant ever made of control of resources by any country to a foreigner.[1] Local clergy were outraged by the concession and flyers were distributed in Tehran proclaiming that a Jew, Baron Reuter, would be in charge of country's affairs and that he plans to pass the railroad through the holy shrine in south Tehran. Clergy believed that this railroad plan is the work of Satan and would bring corruption to the Muslim lands.[2] The concession was met with not only domestic outrage in the form of local protests, but the Russian government was hostile towards the concession as well.[3] Under immense pressure, Nasir al-Din Shah consequently cancelled the agreement despite his deteriorating financial situation. The concession cancellation was also due to the British government refusing to support Reuter's unrealistic ambitions. While the concession lasted for approximately a year, the entire debacle set the foundation for the revolts against the tobacco concession in 1890 as it demonstrated that any attempt by a foreign power to infringe upon Iranian sovereignty would infuriate the local population as well as rival European powers, in this case the Russian government, which had its own interests in the region.[4]
