Teheran, Sept. 27.
The rebellious Ghashghai tribe of Southern Iran, scorning govern- ment warnings, tonight threatened to send 10,000 horsemen and infantry into action unless the deposed Premier, Mohammed Mossadegh was re- leased from imprisonment.
A spokesman for the tribe, Reza Zadeh, said forces of the huge Ghashghai chieftain, Nasser Khan, were drawn up on three sides of the Southern city of Shiraz-"ready to act".
Press reports said the government had threatened military action against the tribe unless it stopped "creating unrest" within 48 hours.
Zadeh, just back from a visit to the Ghashghai country, said four Iranian Air Force planes flew over the area last Wednesday, dropping teaflets which told tribesmen not to let subversive, elements lure them into conflict with the
government.
He said the leaflets warned that any attempted rebellion would be crushed
by the government with the "most severe steps".
