Ebrahim Hakimi (Persian:ابراهیم حکیمی; 1869 – 19 October 1959) was an Iranian politician and statesman who served asPrime Minister of Iran on three occasions.
Born inTabriz in 1869,[2] Ḥakimi was part of "an old and prominent family of court physicians", who traced their status as far back as the 17th century, "starting with the eponym of the family,Moḥammad-Dāvud Khan Ḥakim" who served at the courts of theSafavidshahsSafi (r. 1629-1642) andAbbas II (r. 1642-1666).[3] This ancestor of Ebrahim was also the founder of theHakim Mosque inIsfahan.[3] Hakimi's uncle wasMirza Mahmud Khan Hakim ol-Molk, a politician and personal physician ofMozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar (r. 1896–1907).[4]
After finishing elementary and high school in Tabriz, Hakimi attendedDar ol-Fonoon in Tehran and finished advanced studies in medicine inParis.
Hakimi served as royal physician to Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar. He then became a member of the Parliament, and served as cabinet minister 17 times, as prime minister for three terms, and as speaker of theSenate of Iran.
His second tenure as prime minister was short-lived (three months) as theSoviets, angry over his refusal to grant them an oil concession in Northern Iran, inspired AzerbaijaniCommunists to declare independence from Iran. Soviet troops occupying the Northern regions refused to allow Iranian troops to enter the region to put down the uprising. Hakimi submitted the issue to theUN Security Council and resigned from office in protest of Soviet actions in January 1946.[5]
Hakimi died in Tehran in 1959.[2]
