النفوذ العماني في الموانئ الفارسية خلال القرنين الثامن عشر و التاسع عشر الميلاديين : دراسة وثائقية

Abstract EN

Omani-Persian relations were characterized during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by fluctuating relations of cooperation sometimes, and the conflict relationship at other times.

Perhaps the history of the two regions struck in the past, especially with the political and economic aspects, is a major reason for this fluctuation in the relationship between the two countries.

This paper aims to shed light on an important political and economic aspect in the relationship of the two neighboring countries, namely the Omani influence, control and presence on the Persian ports located on the western coast of the Gulf.

We will proceed into this aspect by analyzing a number of agreements concluded between Oman and Persia.

However, it must be emphasized, that there are several factors that formed this relationship and controlled it, especially in the nineteenth century, namely, the colonial powers in the Gulf region.

Which has been playing a pivotal role in this conflict in order to preserve its interests.

To achieve these goals, this paper was divided into two main axes.

The first axis will address an overview of Omani-Persian relations.

It is a topic that has been studied by many researchers due to its importance in the history of the Gulf in all respects.

As for the second axis, it will deal with a documentary study of the most important agreements concluded between Oman and Persia in the ports of Bandar Abbas, Qeshm and Gawad, in addition to reviewing the correspondence that clarifies this aspect.

And the port of Gwadar was added - although it does not fall within the geographical range of the Gulf - but it was under Persian influence until the year 1783 AD, It is the year that Sultan bin Ahmed visited the region with his brother Saif, and Naseer Khan(1) gave him the province for Mr.

Sultan to make a base for his campaigns on the eastern coast of the Gulf, The same also applies to the port of Shahbar, when Mr.

Sultan bin Ahmed extended his influence there.
