Amir-Abbas Hoveyda was an Iranian economist and politician who served as Prime Minister of Iran from 27 January 1965 to 7 August 1977. He was the longest serving prime minister in Iran's history. He also served as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance in Mansur's cabinet. After the Iranian Revolution, he was tried by the newly established Revolutionary Court for "waging war against God" and spreading corruption on earth (Mofsed-e-filarz) and executed.
Jamshid Amouzegar was an Iranian economist and politician who was prime minister of Iran from 7 August 1977 to 27 August 1978 when he resigned. Prior to that, he served as the minister of interior and minister of finance in the cabinet of Amir-Abbas Hoveida. He was the leader of Rastakhiz Party during his tenure as prime minister of Iran.
Asadollah Alam was an Iranian politician who was prime minister during the Shah's regime from 1962 to 1964. He was also minister of Royal Court, president of Pahlavi University and governor of Sistan and Baluchestan Province.
Hasan Ali Mansur was an Iranian politician who served as Prime Minister from 1964 to 1965. He served during the White Revolution of the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and was assassinated by a member of the Fada'iyan-e Islam.
Hassan Arsanjani (1922–1969) was a radical reformer, and as the minister of agriculture in the cabinet of Ali Amini introduced the program of land reform in Iran. Later on the shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi forced him to resign and credited himself for introducing the land reform through his White Revolution. He was a law graduate who held several positions including publisher of the Darya newspaper, member of the Parliament during the Majlis's fifteenth assembly, political deputy of Qavam al-Saltana and agricultural minister in the cabinets of both `Ali Amini and Asadollah Alam. His death in suspicious circumstances was attributed to the fact that he had become immensely popular especially among peasants after the land reform, something that was not appreciated by SAVAK, the secret police of the Shah.
Mozaffar Alam (1882–1973) was an Iranian politician who served as the minister of foreign affairs. He was also a military official and governor of various Iranian provinces.
Abbas Aram (1906–1985) was an Iranian diplomat and served as foreign minister for two terms between 1959 and 1960 and between 1962 and 1966. In addition, he was the ambassador of Iran to various countries, including Iraq, the United Kingdom and China.

Following the 1979 revolution he left Iran and settled in Paris, France. He died there in 1992 and buried in Behest e Zahra Cemetery in Iran.
Jahangir Tafazzoli (1914–1990) was an Iranian journalist and government official during the Pahlavi period. He held various official posts and established a newspaper entitled Iran-e Ma. He committed suicide on 20 December 1990.
Ataollah Khosravani was an Iranian politician. He served as the secretary-general of Iran Novin Party and held several cabinet posts in the 1960s.
The cabinet led by Haj Ali Razmara was formed on 26 June 1950 and succeeded the cabinet led by Ali Mansur who was in office between April and June 1950. Razmara was a lieutenant general at the imperial army and was serving as the chief of the general staff when he was appointed by the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as the prime minister. It was the 33rd and first military cabinet in Iran since 1924. Behrooz Moazami also argues that it was one of the cabinets which did not follow the political agenda of the Shah in addition to the cabinets of Mohammad Mosaddegh and those of Ahmad Qavam in the Pahlavi rule. The Razmara cabinet ended on 11 March 1951 three days after the assassination of the prime minister.
The cabinet led by Prime Minister Manouchehr Eghbal of Iran lasted for three years between April 1957 and September 1960 making it one of the longest tenure cabinets of the Pahlavi rule. The cabinet succeeded the second cabinet of Hossein Ala' who resigned on 3 April 1957.
The cabinet led by Prime Minister Hassan Ali Mansur was inaugurated on 7 March 1964. It replaced the second government of Asadollah Alam. Mansur's cabinet was the first of party-governments in Iran. It was led by the Iran Novin Party and was approved by the Majlis on 8 March. It enjoyed nearly full confirmation at the Majlis, including the members of the opposition party, People's Party.
The cabinet led by Hossein Ala' was formed on 20 March 1951 two weeks after the assassination of Prime Minister Haj Ali Razmara. The cabinet was given vote of confidence at the Majlis on 17 April 1951. However, the tenure of the cabinet was very short and lasted only until 27 April when Hossein Ala' resigned from office due to threats of the Fada'iyan-e Islam members who had murdered Haj Ali Razmara. Another reason for the resignation of the cabinet was the ratification of the oil nationalization bill. It was succeeded by the cabinet formed by Mohammad Mosaddegh in late April.
The government formed by Prime Minister Asadollah Alam was inaugurated on 21 July 1962. It succeeded the Government of Ali Amini when Amini resigned from office on 18 July 1962.
