Ali Amini was appointed to rule by decree as the Prime Minister of Iran on 5 May 1961, succeeding Jafar Sharif-Emami.[1] His cabinet was approved on 9 May 1961.[2]
Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was not enthusiastic about appointing Ali Amini as prime minister.[3] In addition, the Kennedy administration established a task force, the Iran Task Force, to support the cabinet of Amini which was regarded by the Shah as a move to reduce his power and authority.[3]
