Mirza Reza Kermani

Mirza Reza Kermani (Persian: میرزا رضا کرمانی; Born in 1854 in Kerman, Persia (modern Iran) – 10 August 1896 in Tehran) was an adherent of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani and an Iranian who assassinated King Nasser-al-Din.

[2] In 1895, he visited Jamal al-Din al-Afghani in Istanbul, and they planned the assassination of Nasser-al-Din Shah, before Kermani returned to Iran.

"[5] It is said that the revolver used to assassinate him was old and rusty, and had the Shah worn a thicker overcoat, or been shot from a longer range, he would have survived the attempt on his life.

Nasser-al-Din's successor Mozaffar ad-Din Shah sent a detachment of troops on camels to find Mirza Reza Kermani to avenge his father's death.

in Tehran promoted the idea that Mirza Reza was an Azali but historical documents shows he was born in a Shia family.
