May 1891 CE

Government intervention may have helped in mitigating the hostilities in Shiraz following Akbar's removal; however other regions of Iran still see a proliferation in protests.

Bazaaris in Tehran had been among the first groups of people to protest against the concession by writing letters of disapproval to the shah even before the concession had been publicly announced.

It will be argued that this initial opposition had stemmed from a Russian attempt to stir up frustration within the merchant community of Tehran.
