Foroughi Presents New Cabinet Of Ministers
By: Mir M.Hosseini
6 months after Allied Powers entered Iran, Foroughi presented his new cabinet of ministers to the parliament. The surprise person proposed in charge of ministry of war was no one but Col. Ahmad Nakhjevan, an army general who had dismissed all soldiers from garrisons right after enemy forces entered Iran and Reza Shah had given orders to prepare for resistence. Such treacherous people were in charge of the government with Reza Shah's son as the new puppet king for Britain. According to witnesses, after hearing this act of treason, Reza Shah had beaten Nakhjevan and had taken away his military badges and sent him to prison to be tried for treason.
