Farrokh Khan Amin-Doleh, Ferouk Khan, also Feruk Khan or Ferukh Khan (1814 - 1871), was Vice Premier to the court of Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar and the Persian ambassador to the Emperor of the France, Napoleon III and Queen Victoria. The visit followed the outbreak of the Anglo-Persian War (1856-1857) between Persia and Great Britain.
Negotiations over the Herat crisis broke down between Ferouk Khan and Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, prompting the Persian embassy to turn to France.[1]
The embassy was composed of the ambassador himself, accompanied by a suite of more than twenty persons, including councillors, dragoman, secretaries and writers. Six horses were given in present to the French Emperor, who expressed his regret about the conflict between Persia and Great Britain.[2] Negotiations led to the March 1857 Treaty of Paris, which put an end to the Anglo-Persian War.[3]
After his embassy, Ferouk Khan returned to Persia, where he became Prime Minister.[4]
