The cabinet led by Haj Ali Razmara was formed on 26 June 1950[1] and succeeded the cabinet led by Ali Mansur who was in office between April and June 1950.[2] Razmara was a lieutenant general at the imperial army and was serving as the chief of the general staff when he was appointed by the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as the prime minister.[3] It was the 33rd[4] and first military cabinet in Iran since 1924.[1] Behrooz Moazami also argues that it was one of the cabinets which did not follow the political agenda of the Shah in addition to the cabinets of Mohammad Mosaddegh and those of Ahmad Qavam in the Pahlavi rule.[5] The Razmara cabinet ended on 11 March 1951 three days after the assassination of the prime minister.
