Eskandar Azmoudeh

Eskandar Azmoudeh (Persian: اسکندر آزموده; 17 March 1912 – 6 July 1998) was a Lieutenant-general and one of the senior Iranian soldiers in the Pahlavi period He was born in 1912 in Tehran.

He carried out his mission on August 15, 1953, but knowing that the coup plan had failed, he re-launched the Bazaar Call Center so that his regiment would not be in danger.

General Azmoudeh remained in this position until 1974, when this year his relative Jamshid Amouzegar, the Minister of Interior, once again appointed him governor of East Azerbaijan.

With the beginning of the Islamic Revolution, on February 20, 1978, huge demonstrations were held in Tabriz in opposition to the Pahlavi regime, which ended with the killing of people.

For this reason, in order to extinguish the flames of dissatisfaction and calm down the people of Tabriz, on February 22, 1978, Azmoudeh was summoned to Tehran and fired.
