The Treaty of Paris (1857) (Persian: عهدنامه پاریس ۱۸۵۷, romanized: Ahdnāme-ye Paris 1857) marked the end of the hostilities of the Anglo-Persian War. On the Persian, side negotiations were handled by ambassador Farrokh Khan. The two sides signed the peace treaty on 4 March 1857.[1][2]
In the Treaty, the Persians agreed to withdraw from Herat, later allowing Dost Mohammad Khan of Afghanistan to occupy it.[3] They also agreed to apologise to the British envoy on his return, and to sign a commercial treaty; the British agreed not to shelter opponents of the Shah in the embassy, and they abandoned the demand to replace the grand vizier Mirza Aqa Khan Nuri, as well as one requiring territorial concessions to the Imam of Oman, a British ally.
