Saeed Emami (Persian: سعید امامی; né Saeed Eslami) (1958–1999) was the Iranian deputy minister of intelligence under Ali Fallahian, and adviser to the Ghorbanali Dorri-Najafabadi. He was appointed as deputy minister in security affairs and the second person of intelligence ministry when he was 32 years old. He is also considered as the designer and leader of many internal and extraterritorial intelligence operations during the 1990s, especially in the case of western countries, Israel and anti-revolutionary units.[1] He was accused of having independently organized the assassinations of dissidents (known as the "chain murders").
