Ali Akbar Mohtashamipur (Persian: سید علیاکبر محتشمیپور; 30 August 1947[citation needed] – 7 June 2021), also known as Mohtashami, was an Iranian Shia cleric and former interior minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran.[3] He was active in the Iranian Revolution and is seen as a founder of the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon[4][5] as well as one of the "radical elements advocating the export of the revolution," in the Iranian clerical hierarchy.[6]
In an Israeli assassination attempt targeting Mohtashami, he lost his right hand when he opened a book loaded with explosives.[7][8] He died on June 7th, 2021 from COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran.[9]
