One of the first things that sparked tension between the U.S. and Russia was the conflicts between Russia and the U.S. in Iran. For six months after the war, there was to be no foreign troops in Iran. However, the Soviet did not remove their troops. What’s even worse the Soviets decided while they’re there, why don’t the help spread communism in Azerbaijan. I ran also began to take over parts of northern Iran.
