He became the chief of the police in 1925, and keeping his capacity, he went to Tabriz to establish peace and order in Azerbaijan. In the coronation ceremony of Reza Shah, he was the bearer of the royal mace.
AmirAhmadi became the first and only lieutenant general of Iran in 1929. However, after a while he was disfavored and was dismissed from all his ranks. Again, Reza Shah consoled him and made him the military governor of Tehran in September 1941. He was in charge of the office for breeding horses.
Following the departure of Reza Shah from Iran, AmirAhmadi became the minister of interior in Foroughi’s cabinet, and then in Qavam-os-saltaneh and Soheili’s cabinets he was the minister of war. Military governor ofTehran, commandant of the central garrison and the inspector of army were among his many responsibilities. After his retirement he entered the Senate as an appointed senator.
