Was Iran allied with Germany during World War 2?

Answer 1

Iran would have been a German ally, and was on the verge of offically taking that position, when to prevent that from happening in a swift, coordinated move both the British (from the south) and the Soviet Russians (from the north) invaded and swiftly overran the country. There was virtually no resistance to this invasion. This opened up a supply line into southern Russia that was usable year round, unlike the Russian ports on the Arctic Ocean, which were frozen in six months out of the year. This supply line was vital to keeping the Russians in the war. Though no resistance was made to the invasion, not everyone in Iran was happy with the foreign troops there, or willing to just accept the situation. After America got into the war, which was after Iran was overrun, American troops were also in Iran to help maintain this supply line, which was partly on roads built for the purpose. I had an uncle who was a telephone lineman, and was in Iran to maintain the telephone lines run alongside the supply road. He was on a jeep with eight or ten other guys, which hit a mine, or was attacked with a roadside bomb, just as is seen in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. My uncle was the only Survivor, and was very badly injured. There was not a German within hundreds of miles.

Answer 2

yes Germany was!
