Soleiman Mirza Eskandari (Persian: سلیمان اسکندری; 1875 – 7 January 1944)[1] was an Iranian Qajar prince[2] and socialist politician. A civil servant and constitutionalist activist, he served as a member of parliament for four consecutive terms and briefly served as the education minister (maʿāref). During his career, Eskandari was associated with Democrat, Socialist and Tudeh parties.[3] In the aftermath of the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran during World War II, the Soviet Union was occupying an area in the north of the country that included the capital of Tehran and took advantage of this position by fostering the creation of the communist Tudeh party under the leadership of Eskandari.[4]
