Chrisjen Avasarala (Persian: چریسجن آواسارالا, Born 30 December 1971) is the incumbent Prime Minister of the Imperial State of Iran. She was sworn in by Banebshenan Banebshen Shahnaz Shah on 10 May 1965 at Ramsar Palace, in the Mazandaran Province. She has been a member of the Imperial Majlis since 16 November 1960 having been elected to the seat of former Minister for Labor Relations Overiss Eghnameyi. In the 1965 General Election, her margin grew remarkably by approximately 12 points.
Avasarala was born in Tehran, to a textile working father and a bank teller mother. She went on to attend the Tehran School of Political Sciences, describing future Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh as her most influential lecturer. She entered the Diplomatic Corps in 1990 aged 19 and has since been assigned to the Iranian Embassy in six countries. Avasarala was appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs after the 2013 Iranian General Election at which the National Labor Party was able to win its first outright majority since the 1975 Election. She subsequently became the party's choice in the 2018 Leadership election where she was elected unopposed as Leader of the National Labor Party.
