The cabinet led by Jamshid Amouzegar was announced on 7 August 1977.[1] It succeeded the last cabinet of Amir-Abbas Hoveyda who submitted his resignation on 6 August.[2] [3] Major goal of Amouzegar's cabinet was to implement a new liberal economic program to stop inflation.[1] The cabinet significantly decreased the annual financial aid given to mosques and religious organizations which had very negative effects on the relations between the state and religious establishment.[4]
The cabinet lasted only for one year until 27 August 1978 when Jamshid Amouzegar resigned from office.[5] [6] The reason for his resignation was the increased demonstrations of religious establishment and the fire occurred in Cinema Rex in Abadan on 19 August.
