Career

He was the second son of Muhandis-ul-Mamalik and studied at the University of Berlin . From 1914 to 1918 he was employed in the Persian Ministry of Education. In 1919 he opened the Persian legation in Bern and remained ambassador until 1924, as well as being accredited to the League of Nations in Geneva. He did not dare to return to Persia until the regime of Reza Shah Pahlavi , in 1931, was well established as he was chamberlain of Mozaffar al-Din Shah and Ahmad Shah Qajar . In 1934 he worked as an economics professor in the Ministry of Education. He has been described as a very volatile, tenacious little man with a great idea of his own importance and infallibility, who tended to criticize Reza Shah Pahlavi's regime and deplore the disappearance of the constitution and freedom of speech. He had a large family of daughters. From July 24, 1937 he was director of the German-Persian trade school in Tehran. He was on the board (secretary) of the Iran Party , founded in 1941 , of which Mohammad Mossadegh also belonged. In 1949, Zoka al Dawla Gaffari was appointed by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi first as CEO of the Iranian insurance company and then appointed Minister for Postal Telegraphs and Telephone.
