The significant consequence of the discovery of oil in Persia, specifically in the early 1900s, was the rise of geopolitical interest in the region, which transformed Persia into a focal point for foreign intervention and control. The discovery of oil in 1908 at Masjed Soleiman led to the formation of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC), which significantly benefited British interests. This not only impacted Persia's economy, leading to increased revenues but also fostered a growing dependence on foreign powers. Additionally, oil became a crucial resource for global energy needs, resulting in political tensions and conflicts that are still relevant in contemporary international relations.
