Soviet Invasion of Iran

The Soviet Invasion of Iran began in 1941 during the German-Soviet War and it involved the Soviet Union and the Imperial State of Iran. The Soviets were supported in the brief conflict by Iranian communists who came together to form the so-called Tudeh Party.
The war began over Iranian oil exports being a vital resource for the Greater Germanic Reich after the beginning of the German-Soviet War, and the Soviets sought to cut off this resource. The Iranian defence, wholly unprepared for such an invasion, was able to put up little resistance to the invading forces. After little over a month from the beginning of the war, Prime Minister Ali Mansur sued for peace after the royal family had fled to Turkey.
With the main focus of the Soviets being the ongoing war against Germany, they arranged a hastily put together government in Iran with Soleiman Eskandari at its head as the President of Iran.
