Mirza Aqa Khan-e Nuri

Mirza Aqa Khan-e Nuri

Mirza Aqa Khan-e Nuri (Persian میرزا آقاخان نوری) was an Iranian politician and the chancellor of the Qajar court from 1851 to 1857. He is best known as the instigator, along with the Queen Mother, Mahd-Oliya, of the removal of Mirza Taqi Khan Amir Kabir from chancellorship in 1851.

Mirza Agha Khan was born Nasrollah Nuri, son of Mirza Assadollah Khan Nuri, around 1807. His father was among the first people to join the armies of the conquering Agha Mohammad Khan, the founder of the Qajar Dynasty. Mirza Assadollah was part of the administrative hierarchy of the army and soon managed to become a member of the court of both Agha Mohammad Khan and his nephew and successor, Fat′h-Ali Shah Qajar.

His early carrier was formed in service of Allah-Yar Khan Asaf al-Daula, a maternal relative of Mahd Oliya, the wife of Mohammad Shah, the successor of Fathali Shah, and the mother of the future king Naser al-Din Shah Qajar. After this, he became a civil official with the army before elevating himself to the position of the minister of war as part of the king's privy council.

It is thought that it was during this time that he began to have contacts with the English colonial administration in India and Iran, leading to his Anglophile reputation. It is also probably due to his closeness to Allahyar Khan that he came to be an ally of the Queen Mother.

He died on 12 Shawwal 1281 AH = March 10, 1865.
