Son of brigadier general, Taqi agha, Ahmad Agha Khan was born in Tehran, 1888. He went to Eftetahieh and then to Tarbiat schools in Tehran, and continued his education in Cossack School administered by the Russians.
He enlisted in Cossack brigade when he was fourteen. His bravery and ruthlessness helped him to get speedy promotion and he became a general in 1920 after Reza Khan's coup. His first mission after the coup was the suppression of Ismail Khan Amir Moayyed Savadkuhi in Mazandaran which led to Amir Moayyed and his sons' flight. When the army was reorganized into five divisions, he was given the rank of Amir Lashkar of the western division with its headquarters in Hamadan.
He was appointed the head of Amnieh for four years. He was also in command of the North-West division.
He was the first one who was promoted field Martial as a reward for his services. He was appointed military governor of Tehran by Reza Shah before leaving the country with wide powers to suppress the rioting. He was appointed minister of interior in Foroughi's cabinet. Minister of war in Qavam-ol-Saltaneh and Soheili's cabinets. Through the Shah's insistence, in Qavam's four cabinets, he was minister of war. In Ibrahim Hakimi's cabinet, he found a place for himself and became minister of interior. Again in AbdolHossein Hazhir and Mohammad Saed's cabinets, he became minister of war in 1958. As the first Iranian lieutenant General, he was appointed a senator to the first senate and held it for sixteen years.
AmirAhmadi died in 1965 when he was 77 years old due to leukemia. He had accumulated great wealth and had large properties. He was serious, greedy, daring, tough, dutiful, and cruel who had a rough manner towards his subordinates and punished them personally.
