Tūfān dar rāh: asnād va mukātabāt-i Mīrzā Āqā Kārguzār-i Īrān dar Bāyazīd bā Vizārat-i Khārijah (1332 Q)

Compiled by Ṭayyibah Rustamī, *Tūfān dar rāh* (Storm on the Way) offers a critical archival glimpse into the fragile state of the Iranian northwestern borderlands immediately preceding World War I. The work compiles the 1914 (1332 Q) correspondence of Mīrzā Āqā, the Iranian Kārguzār (diplomatic agent) stationed in Bāyazīd, Ottoman Turkey, addressed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tihrān. Through these dispatches, the text illuminates the intense geopolitical friction involving the Ottoman Empire, Russia, and local Kurdish tribal dynamics, specifically highlighting the precarious position of Iqbāl al-Salṭanah Mākū’ī. Published by Shīrāzah Kitāb-i Mā as part of the *Majmū‘ah-i Tārīkh-i Mu‘āṣir-i Īrān* series, this volume serves as a vital primary source for historians studying the late Qājār period and the diplomatic history of the Īrān-Turkey frontier.
