This concession, which astonished the financial world and was not supported by the British government, raised strong protests from the Russians and from the Persian people who did not accept this foreign interference. This led the Shah to cancel the concession under false pretexts (as he later did for the Alléon concession). Reuter, who had paid large sums of money to obtain the concession and start work on a railway line from Rasht to Tehran, was not compensated and kept seeking redress from the Persian government.
