In the middle of the 18th century AH/ 12th century AH, following the series of wars in India by the navy of Britain, the position of France in India was shaken, and their organization was conquered by the British forces during the Paris Peace Treaty of 1763 AD/1177 AH. The results of the research indicate that, considering the strong position of the British East Indies in India and the suitability of the regional and global position of Britain, the British company, by creating new plans and using military and political tools, was striving to establish its position clearly in the Persian Gulf. The year 1763 AD/ 1177 AH can be considered a milestone and the beginning of the political approach to the presence of the IEC in the Gulf, in which there can be evidence of this: the shift of the commercial center of the British East Cameroon from Bandar Abbas to Bushehr and Basra (1763 AD / 1177 AD), the entrance of IEC to the battle with Ka'bah group (1765-1763 AD/ 1177- 1179 AH), the election of the representative of the East India Company as British Consulate in Basra (1763 AD / 1177 AH), and the contract of Saadoun-Price (1763 AD / 1177 AH).  For historians and researchers, little attention has been paid to the issue of seven-year wars between France and England over the years (1756-1767 AD/ 1170-1177 AH), and its link with the history of Iran and the Persian Gulf. This research is organized using a library method and with reference to main sources, new studies and using scientific and analytical methods.
