The conflict escalated into military action in 1960 when Russian forces invaded Persia, capturing several strategic areas and initiating a campaign of aerial bombardment. The Persians responded with a series of counterattacks, but were unable to push the Russian forces back. By mid-1961, the Russian military had established a strong presence in Tabarestan, and the rebels were able to coordinate their attacks with Russian forces. By late 1962, the rebels and Russian forces had captured several key Persian cities and established a foothold in the region.

Although it did not participate in any military action, Great Britain provided financial and diplomatic support to the Persian government, hoping to prevent the spread of Russian influence in the Middle East. Despite their efforts, however, Britain was unable to prevent the secession of Tabarestan and the further Russian incursions into Persian territory.
==== Treaty of Saratov (1963) ====
The war came to an end with the signing of the Peace of Saratov on May 18, 1963. Under the terms of the treaty, Persia was forced to cede the Tabarestan region, which had already been established as the [[Tabarestan|Tabari National Republic (TNR)]] on June 1 of that year. Additionally, Persia was required to give up its rights to petroleum and natural gas reserves in the Caspian Sea.
Reza Bagher Tonekaboni, a graduate of Saint Petersburg National University who had maintained close ties with the Kiselev family since 1933, was appointed Chairman of the Tabari National Republic. As part of the treaty, Tabarestan was admitted as a full member of the International Republican Coalition on June 27, 1963.
== Impact ==
Status of the formerly occupied territories The provinces of Erivan, Churs, and Azarbayjan have experienced extensive damage due to 681 days of occupation by Russian forces and domestic national republican insurgents. Over £500,000 has been delivered to the Persian government with the assent of the Secretarie of the India Office in order to help with the reconstruction of these areas.
In response to the growing demand for oil, the Organization of Democratic Nations resolved to incentivize several countries, including the Dutch East Indies, the Nigerian Republic, [[Equatoria]], the [[United Gulf States]], the States of [[Kamarupa]], and the [[Tripolitania|Kingdom of Tripolitania]], to increase production over the next ten years. The British government also introduced a 9.8% oil export tariff to all states outside of the Organization with the Export Duties Act 1964, in an effort to conserve reserves of natural gas and petroleum.
