Timeline

1901

Ali Razmara, also known as Haj Ali Razmara (30 March 1901 – 7 March 1951), was a military leader and prime minister of Iran.

He was assassinated by 26-year-old Khalil Tahmassebi of the Fadayan-e Islam organization outside the Shah Mosque in Tehran at the age of 49.

Razmara was the third Iranian prime minister to be assassinated.

Razmara was born in Tehran in 1901.

His father, Mohammad Khan Razmara, was a military officer.

He studied at the military academy of Saint-Cyr in France.

1950

Razmara was appointed prime minister by the Shah in 1950.

His cabinet was inaugurated on 26 June.

He promoted a plan for decentralization of government together with decentralization of the seven-year plan for infrastructure development and improvement.

His idea was to bring government to the people; an unheard-of idea in Iran.

His plan called for setting up local councils in Iran's 84 districts to run local affairs such as health, education and agricultural programs.

One of his most enduring achievements was the institution of the Point IV program via agreement with US President Harry Truman.

Razmara began trimming the government payrolls, eliminating a large number of officials out of a total of 187,000 civil servants.

At one stroke he terminated nearly 400 high-placed officials.

By so doing, Razmarra earned the wrath of the powerful land-owning and merchant families and most conservatives without gaining the confidence of the radical Tudeh Party.

Additionally, his opposition to the expropriation of AIOC assets at Abadan earned him the wrath of the small but powerful group of Majlis deputies known as the National Front.

The National Front was led by Majlis Member, Mohammed Mossadegh, whose leading ally in Parliament was the Assembly Speaker, Ayatollah Kashani.

Ali Razmara came closer than any other prime minister to ratifying the supplemental oil agreement between Iran and the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC).

The agreement drew the ire of most Iranians and Majlis of Iran deputies because it provided far less favorable terms than the Venezuela agreement between Standard Oil of New Jersey and the Venezuelan government, or the agreement between the Arabian-American Oil Company and the Saudi Arabian government.

In addition, it gave continuous control of Iran's oil industry to a foreign company and country; the living and working conditions of its Iranian workers were extremely poor; it refused to allow Iranians a greater voice in the company's management; and it denied them the right to audit the company's books.

The AIOC did, however, offer a few improvements: it guaranteed that its annual royalty payments would not drop below 4 million pounds; it would reduce the area where it would be allowed to drill; and it promised to train more Iranians for administrative jobs.

Razmara asked Anglo-Iranian to revise some of the agreement terms, namely to allow Iranian auditors to review their financial activities, offer Iranians managerial jobs, and pay some of the royalties to the Iranian government in advance.

The British refused and lost the opportunity.

Razmara was in office at the direct urging of the British Foreign Office and the AIOC to the Shah.

They wanted a stronger figure than Razmara's predecessor, Prime Minister Mansur, to ensure the success of the Supplemental Agreement.

"Only a man with [Razmara's] fierce determination, they believed, would be strong enough to face down Mossadegh and the National Front."

1951

On 7 March 1951, Razmara went to the Shah Mosque for a memorial service.

The police opened a corridor through the inner courtyard for him.

The assassin, in the crowd, fired three quick shots, fatally wounding the Prime Minister.

Khalil Tahmassebi, a member of the group Fadayan-e Islam, was arrested at the scene.

At a public demonstration the following day attended by more than 8,000 Tudeh Party members and National Front supporters, Fadayan-e Islam distributed leaflets carrying a threat to assassinate the Shah and other government officials if the assassin, Tahmassebi, was not set free immediately.

Threats were also issued against any Majlis member who opposed oil nationalization.

The National Front was led by Mohammed Mossadegh, who became prime minister within two months of Razmara's assassination.

Ayatollah Seyyed Abol-Ghasem Kashani, the leader of the country's mullahs, ended his support for the Fadayan-e Islam after the assassination.

Kashani then became closer to the National Front.

On 12 March 1951 the Majlis voted to nationalize Iran's oil.

Not one Majlis member voted against the Act.

A spectator in the gallery is reported to have shouted "Eight grains of gunpowder have brought this about."

1952

On the other hand, the assassin, Tahmassebi, was freed by the Iranian Parliament in 1952, but then he was tried and executed in 1955.

1954

In 1954 Navab Safavi, founder of the Fadayan-e Islam, in a speech to the Muslim Brotherhood meeting in Egypt, declared that he himself had killed Razmara.
