This study aims to analyze the process leading to the Reuter concession, along with its historical context, outcomes, and the factors contributing to its cancellation. After a brief introduction, this article examines the historical circumstances surrounding the concession's issuance before scrutinizing the application process and key terms of the concession itself. The concluding section discusses the most significant criticisms and objections, ultimately resulting in the Iranian government's decision to annul the concession. Research findings indicate that Iranian policymakers, acknowledging the nation's deficiency in expertise and capital for modernization, sought foreign investment through economic concessions to propel Iran's modernization efforts. The Reuter concession, a result of such endeavors, was granted to a British national named Reuter, with active involvement from Mirza Hossein Khan Sepehsalar. However, the concession's cancellation ensued due to opposition from Russia, the British government's reluctance to intervene, Reuter's failure to secure adequate capital, and objections from Iranian protests.
