Karim Buzarjomehri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

General Karim Agha Khan Buzarjomehri (1886 - 1951) was a leading Iranian military general and supporter of Reza Pahlavi.

Buzarjomehri started military training at 13 years of age, and became Reza Khan's most trusted figures.

During the power struggle that followed under Reza Khan's reign, the notorious Mohammad Hosein Airom tried to fabricate and indict charges against Buzarjomehri, similar to what he did against Teymour Tash and other rivals. He failed.

Buzarjomehri was a brutal major general. He personally executed Mahmud Khan Puladeen on charges of revolting against Reza Khan in 1927: General Puladeen managed to survive 21 bullets from the firing squad. Major General Buzarjomehri promptly went up to the wounded Puladeen took out his pistol and shot him in the head, finishing the execution.

He fled Tehran along with Reza Khan during WW2, and he even carried out his last mission of accompanying the dead body of Reza Khan back to Iran.
