Establishment of the Ministry of Oil according to Seyyed Kazem Vaziri Hamaneh
In the first months after the Islamic Revolution, Iran underwent numerous changes, including in the administrative structure.
Although the structure of the National Oil Company was initially maintained in the same form, the Ministry of Oil was established on October 8, 1979, by order of the Revolutionary Council.
Hassan Nazieh was the first CEO of the National Oil Company after the Islamic Revolution, but he was dismissed after being criticized by the revolutionary forces of the oil industry and figures such as Ayatollah Beheshti.
After the establishment of the Ministry of Oil in October 1979, Ali Akbar Moinfar was appointed as the first Minister of Oil of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
