No British units attacked Iran, although some took essential protective action to secure the southern supply route to the USSR and counter Nazi influence in Persia.

GHQ Persia & Iraq formed in Iraq on 3 Sep 42.

The only motorised bde in PAIFORCE was 10 Indian Motorised Bde (stationed in Qum), part of 12 Indian Infantry Div. There was also 43 Indian Inf Bde (Lorried) in 31 Indian Armd Div (stationed in Shuabia). Indian infantry bdes in PAIFORCE do not seem to have had the normal proportion (I/3) of British infantry.

Whatever the reason Britain conspired with the Soviet Union to invade a neutral country. There is quite a detailed account of the invasion and the units that took part on Wikipedia.
