# Pishraft-e Iran wall news poster, No. 41: Eisenhower Doctrine, locomotives (Farsi, Tehran)

A Farsi photo-and-caption wall sheet headed 'Progress of Iran', No. 41. It pairs a quoted statement by President Eisenhower's envoy James Richards on the Eisenhower Doctrine ('America has no aggressive intent anywhere in the world'), US-built diesel locomotives unloaded at a Gulf pier, a signing between Iranian and US officials on atomic research, and the Shah in pilgrim dress at Mecca. The tell is transfer: US-funded deliveries and the Shah's piety sit on one sheet beside the US message.
