dr. gholam hossein sedighi -lrb- ; ِ december 3 , 1905 - may 19 , 1992 -rrb- , was an iranian politician and minister of interior in the government of prime minister mohammad mossadegh in 1953 .
after a cia-backed coup d'etat overthrew mossadegh , sedighi was arrested and later testified in defense of mossadegh at the latter 's trial .
despite the loss of power , sedighi continued to be politically active .
he helped to found the second national front in 1960 and , along with other pro-mossadegh politicians , advocated a democratic system and a shah that reigns but does not rule .
by 1978 , iran was gripped by mass turmoil and there was a significant danger that mohammad reza pahlavi would be toppled by a mass rebellion led by ayatollah ruhollah khomeini .
because of this threat , the shah appointed sedighi as the prime minister in order to rally the moderates behind the government and neutralize the religious opposition .
however , the plan collapsed over sedighi 's insistence that the shah remain in the country and that full executive powers be entrusted in the premier 's cabinet , two things that the shah refused to grant .
because of this , sedighi left the scene and the shah instead appointed dr. shapour bakhtiar -lrb- one of the leaders of the national front -lrb- iran -rrb- -rrb- as prime minister of iran .
sedighi was a patriot who never left iran and lived in tehran until his death in march 1990 .
he is buried in ebn-e baveh cemetery in iran .
