It always wondered me why Persia didn't decide to go to war with Russia during the Crimean War to reverse the Turkmenchay. Seems like it would've been a safe bet considering they'd have the British, Ottomans, and French on their side, and they could have fielded at least a sizeable enough army to halt the Russians, and maybe get Britain as an "ally" as the Great Game is still going on, or at least give Persia some economic privilege as well.

But besides that, what was the overall role of Persia in the Crimean War? Any help with Sources would also be very much appreciated.
