Sayyid Ezzatollah Zarghami (Persian: سید عزت‌الله ضرغامی; born 26 February 1959) is an Iranian conservative politician and former minister of Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts.

[2] For part of the Iran–Iraq War, Zarghami was in charge of teams tasked with the domestic production of missiles, a necessity due to many countries' refusal to sell weapons to Iran.

[2] In 1995, he became deputy cultural minister overseeing cinematic affairs; he held the post for two years, during which he implemented tough restrictions on content, despite the distaste of many cinema activists.

He said he "has felt the responsibility to fix the country’s management structure on a macro scale", accepting "the invitation of the Popular Front of Islamic Revolution Forces".

Many speculate that Zarghami sides with Supreme Leader Khamenei, seeking to abolish the position of presidency in Iran in favor of a more heavily parliamentary system.

[11] Many experts believe that Zarghami's media background and her mastery of cyberspace, along with her extensive contacts with government institutions, could lead to a serious change in the field of tourism and the recognition of Iran's historical heritage worldwide.
