The Persian Gulf Command was established by the United States Army during World War II to facilitate the delivery of military supplies to the Soviet Union through Iran. Initially formed as the United States Iranian Mission in 1941, it was redesignated as the Persian Gulf Service Command in December 1942 and later as the Persian Gulf Command in 1943. The command was responsible for managing the logistics and transportation of Lend-Lease supplies, including vehicles, fuel, and other war materiel, from Persian Gulf ports through Iran to the Soviet border. The Persian Gulf Command played a crucial role in supporting the Allied war effort by ensuring the steady flow of supplies to the Eastern Front. The command was inactivated in 1945 following the end of World War II. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Gulf_Command
