Timeline

1905

Karim Sanjabi (11 September 1905 – 4 July 1995) was an Iranian politician of National Front.

He was born in Kermanshah in September 1905 to the chief of the Kurdish Sanjâbi tribe.

He studied law and politics at Sorbonne University.

He worked as a law professor at the University of Tehran.

1921

Sanjabi was married to Fakhrolmolouk Ardalan Sanjabi (7 September 1921 - 21 February 2011) and had four children, three sons and a daughter.

Khosrow, Parviz, Saeed and Maryam.

1950

Sanjabi and Allahyar Saleh led the Iran Party, a nationalist, progressive, leftist and anti-Soviet group, in the 1950s.

The party became part of the National Front.

1952

Sanjabi was a loyal supporter of Mohammad Mossadegh and he later served as minister of education under Mossadegh in 1952.

Mossadegh had led the movement to nationalize the British-controlled oil industry in Iran (which, after nationalization, became known as the National Iranian Oil Company) and after this was accomplished, he became engaged in a heated battle with the British (who had previously controlled the oil industry and wished to reassert control over it) and with the forces rallying around Mohammad Reza Shah (the king of Iran who was opposed to Mossadegh's policies vis-a-vis the British, as well as the prime minister's efforts at limiting the Shah's power and influence).

1953

After a CIA-MI6 coup d'état overthrew Mossadegh in August 1953, Sanjabi, along with other Mossadegh supporters, went into opposition against the Shah's regime.

1960

He was heavily involved in the formation of the Second National Front in 1960.

The reconstituted National Front was to remain active for five years, but under increasingly worsening circumstances.

Despite its moderate demands for electoral reforms and a Shah that would "reign and not rule", the Shah refused to tolerate the Front's activities.

His powerful security forces, most notably the SAVAK, silenced the likes of Sanjabi and other secular democrats.

1965

Due to this and a variety of other factors, it had dissolved by 1965.

1970

The Front was to remain dormant until the late 1970s.

1977

It was revived in late 1977 by Sanjabi as its leader.

1978

As the general secretary of the National Front during the revolutionary uprising of 1978–1979, Sanjabi and his colleagues initially wished to negotiate a peaceful solution with the Shah.

However, on 3 November 1978, he met as representative of the National Front with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in France.

He had gone there hoping to convince Khomeini to support the creation of a coalition government headed by the National Front.

Despite the rising revolutionary fervor, Sanjabi and many other liberals had remained loyal to the idea of a constitutional monarchy with the Shah as ceremonial figurehead and they wished to bring Khomeini over to their point of view.

Khomeini, however, refused to budge and reiterated his demand for the overthrow of the monarchy.

In the end, Sanjabi, acting as head of the National Front, capitulated to Khomeini's demands.

In addition, he accepted the leadership of Khomeini and opposed to the alliance with the Tudeh party.

Sanjabi emerged from his meeting "with a short declaration that spoke of both Islam and democracy as basic principles", and Sanjabi declared his support for Khomeini and joined his forces.

Sanjabi's house in Tehran was bombed on 8 April 1978.

The underground committee for revenge, a state-financed organization, proclaimed the responsibility of the bombing.

He was arrested on 11 November 1978 and freed on 6 December.

1979

After the overthrow of the monarchy on 11 February 1979, Khomeini "explicitly refused to put the same word, democracy, into either the title of the Republic or its constitution."

Sanjabi served as the foreign minister of the provisional government led by Mehdi Bazargan between 11 February and 1 April 1979, replacing Ahmad Mirfendereski in the post.

Sanjabi believed and stated that without resolving the Palestinian issue there shall be no peace in the region.

Sanjabi also condemned Shahpour Bakhtiar for accepting the Prime minister position offer by the Shah.

He was replaced by Ebrahim Yazdi as minister of foreign affairs in April.

1982

Sanjabi left Iran in 1982 and went to Paris.

Later he settled in the US.

1995

He died on 4 July 1995 at his home in Carbondale, Illinois, at the age of 89.
