Amir Kabir, Prime Minister under Nasereddin Shah, also initiated direct contacts with the American government in Washington.

Amir Kabir ( 1807 – 10 January 1852 ) (), also known as Mirza Taghi Khan Amir-Nezam (), also known by the titles of Atabak and Amir-e Nezam ; chief minister to Naser al-Din Shah Qajar ( Shah of Persia ) for the first three years of his reign and one of the most capable and innovative figures to appear in the whole Qajar period.

Amir Kabir served as Prime Minister of Persia ( Iran ) under Naser al-Din Shah.

Amir Kabir was born into a lowly household at Hezaveh in the Farahan district, situated in Markazi Province of Iran.

Amir Kabir first assisted his father in performing domestic duties in the household of Mirza Bozorg, who saw signs of unusual talent in him and had him study with his own children.

After he had learned reading, writing, and some mathematics, Amir Kabir, still an adolescent, was appointed by Mirza Bozorg to supervise his stables, a function he performed with exemplary efficiency.

Under his aegis Amir Kabir entered government service, being appointed first to the post of lashkarnevis registrar for the army of Azerbaijan.

During his tenure, Amir Kabir participated in many missions abroad, he spent almost four years in Erzurum, participating in the work of a commission to delineate the Ottoman-Iranian frontier and settle certain other differences between the two states.

In this he acted almost independently of the central government in Tehran, which not only failed to formulate a consistent policy vis-à-vis the Ottomans but also opposed most of Amir Kabir ’ s initiatives.

Amir Kabir nonetheless acquired first-hand knowledge of the procedures of international diplomacy and of the aims and policies of Britain and Russia with respect to Iran.

Some awareness of these reached Amir Kabir in Erzurum and inspired in him at least one aspect of his policy as chief minister: the elimination of clerical influence upon affairs of state.

Amir Kabir returned to Tabriz in 1263 / 1847.

But his minister, Mirza Fathallah Nasir-al-molk ʿAliabadi, was unable to procure the necessary funds, so Naser-al-din had recourse to Amir Kabir, who made the necessary arrangements.

Naser-al-din ’ s confidence in Amir Kabir increased, and shortly after leaving Tabriz, he awarded him the rank of amir-e nezam, with full responsibility for the whole Iranian army.

The former title came to be his common designation ; the latter, used for the first time since the Saljuq period, referred to the tutorial relationship between the minister and his young master, reflecting, perhaps, Amir Kabir ’ s view of himself as a semi-independent agent.
