Born in Tehran, he served as Governor of Khorasan and Azarbaijan provinces, and was an ambassador to Italy, The Vatican, and Turkey.
He served twice as Prime Minister (from 1940 to 1941, and again in 1950)[1] and six times as Cabinet Minister.[citation needed] He resigned as Prime Minister several days after 25 August 1941, when British and Soviet troops invaded Iran to suppress German activity.[1]
