The **Abdulla Ministry** was formed on November 30, 2033 with the appointment of Muhammed Abdulla as prime minister and lasted until Abdulla's resignation on March 1, 2035 amid the 2034-35 constitutional crisis; however, whilst Abdulla resigned from office, his cabinet remained in post for nearly four weeks until opposition leader Hassen Ahmed formed a national unity cabinet.

Following the formation of the United Arab Republic in 2030, the government of President Geena Kulmuni and prime minister Emanuel Parra began to pivot Persia's foreign policy towards supporting the UAR and its neighbour, the Islamic Emirate of Egypt, by providing military aid to prop up the regimes against the potential threat of the Bovido Imperium. In September 2033, the Bovido Imperium launched an invasion of Egypt, prompting Persia and the Fox Dynasty to declare war - in response, Bovido forces conducted a bombing of the Persian capital Nupersia on November 30, 2033, killing prime minister Emanuel Parra in the raid. With Parra's death, President Kulmuni invited defence secretary Muhammed Abdulla to form a new cabinet the same evening, with the composition remaining almost entirely identical to that of the Parra administration.

Muhammed Abdulla's tenure as prime minister was primarily dominated by the impact of and reaction to the escalating war with the Bovido Imperium. Despite the Persian war effort having the financial and strategic backing of the powerful Libirachi Imperial Army, the lack of active on-the-ground backing from the Libirachi government meant that the Persian war effort was significantly limited. With the backing of the Libirachi Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, Persia conducted a series of bombings against the Bovido capital of Jerusalem on December 25, 2033, but failed to repel Bovido forces during Operation Avestor and lost a key ally after the Islamic Emirate of Egypt was conquered by the Imperium.

Domestically, the Abdulla ministry also faced several major issues; in response to the raid on Nupersia, President Geena Kulmuni suspended the National People's Congress and moved the capital city to Dubai, causing significant unrest from the population. The outbreak of war also led to increased financial uncertainty and rising inflation in the Persian economy, whilst damage dealt during combat caused widespread disruption to internal logistics, resulting in scarcities and broken supply chains. Amid the backdrop of the conflict, President Kulmuni refused to hold scheduled legislative and presidential elections in November 2034 by citing Article IV of the Persian constitution and expanded her presidential term using legally dubious measures; in response, both opposition and government figures began to call for new elections, and in March 2035, prime minister Muhammed Abdulla resigned in protest and publicly denounced Kulmuni's administration. With the government lacking a prime minister or a replacement, interior secretary Hossein Dehghan was appointed as acting prime minister until a new government could be formed. On March 17, 2035, former prime minister Abdulla attempted a coup d'état and seized control of the capital city, forcing President Kulmuni to flee the city; instead, opposition leader Hassen Ahmed led the armed forces in putting down the coup d'état and was appointed as prime minister on March 26, 2035 after a Libirachi-brokered transition agreement made way for new elections in November 2035.
