Fox continued, "The Persians have recently faced a devastating defeat. Their King was assassinated by rebellious soldiers. The current situation is not very optimistic."
Most of the British ministers present had read the "Great Game" report—indeed, this report is very popular lately, and it's a hot topic in various salons.
After Fox finished speaking, everyone's expressions became solemn.
Sir Gracey had detailed the situation in Persia and Afghanistan in the report—
Persia had just been unified by Aga Muhammad, and Tehran's coherence is not strong. With his death, those major tribes are likely to separate from the government and become independent.
That is to say, the Russian army will not meet strong resistance and will be able to invade Tehran.
