>> Evidence that the USSR controlled Iran.
Besides their covert influence on the country, the Soviets
had a treaty, from the early 1920s I believe, that allowed
them to invade Iran ("come to the assistance," or "resolve
border problems") any time they unilaterally decided to do
so. This is the treaty invoked to justify the Soviet-Brit
invasion in WW2.
If the terms of that treaty aren't evidence of some measure
of control to you, consider this. During the war, Stalin
would NEVER venture outside areas of Soviet Control.
The leaders met in
Iran
Yalta (in the Crimea)
Stalin REFUSED to go to Casablanca and only met at Potsdam
after the hostilities had ended.
So you can see, Stalin must have felt that Iran was a secure
area, one he controlled, or he wouldn't have traveled there.
