Fathollah Khan Akbar (Persian: فتح الله خان اکبر) was an Iranian Prime Minister. He was Minister of Justice in several Iranian Cabinets. He was a representative of Iranian Parliament from Gilan. He was the 17th Prime Minister of Iran serving from October 1920 to February 1921 when he was deposed by a coup, which he secretly supported, led by Reza Khan. Fathollah Khan Akbar was a strong supporter of the Constitutional Revolution in Iran. He was imprisoned for financially aiding those who were fighting for a constitutional monarchy. A staunch patriot, Fathollah Akbar refused to implement Iran's 1919 agreement with the British Government during his time as prime minister. The 1919 agreement was a one-sided agreement that only would benefit Britain and in response to his refusal and his loyalty to his country, the British referred to him as an "incompetent" prime minister.[1]
