Ambassador John Chilcott told The Washington Post he had been planning a dinner for the day after the embassy attack to mark the anniversary of the 1943 dinner there of Franklin Roosevelt, Josef Stalin and Winston Churchill.
Chilcott said, “I had got out of our embassy archive the minutes of the conversation held at the Tehran Conference, at which the Big Three planned the strategy against Nazi Germany.”
Chilcott said that after the embassy was ransacked he went back inside and found that those records were among the documents stolen from the embassy.
“I’m afraid that means our plans for D-Day have been compromised,” he said with straight face.
