Shaykh Ali Khan Zanganeh

Shaykh Ali Khan Zanganeh (Persian: شیخ‌علی‌خان زنگنه, died 1689), was an Iranian statesman of Kurdish origin, who served as the grand vizier of the Safavid king (shah) Suleiman I (r. 1666–1694) from 1669 to 1689. Due to his efforts in reforming the declining Iranian economy, he has been called the "Safavid Amir Kabir" in modern historiography.[1]
