Two critical incidents following the First World War clearly demonstrated the political ineptitude of Qajar authorities.

Three months later, Qajar authorities sent Simko a "present" a bomb. The package exploded when opened on April 14, 1919, killing Simko's brother Ali Agha. Simko and his young son survived with slight injuries." This clumsy assassination attempt further alienated Simko, who mobilized his forces for an open rebellion against the government.{{sfn|Arfa|1966|p=57}} |
