Reference excerpt

Mostafa Mir-Salim (Persian: مصطفی میرسلیم; born 10 June 1947) is an Iranian engineer and conservative politician. He is currently member of the Expediency Discernment Council. He was formerly a member of Islamic Consultative Assembly from 2020 to 2024. He was a presidential candidate at the 2017 election which placed third with receiving 1.16% of the votes.

Early life and education He obtained B.Sc. in Mechanics from Universite de Poitiers in 1969, M.Sc. in Mechanics from École nationale supérieure de mécanique et d'aérotechnique and M.Sc. Fluid Mechanics & Thermodynamics from Attestation d`Eludes Approfondies, Universite de Poitiers both in 1971 and M.Sc. in Internal Combustion Engines from École Nationale Supérieure du Pétrole et des Moteurs in 1972. He worked as an intern in Alsace Mechanical Industries until 1976, when he returned to Iran. He worked at Tehran Metro as the operational director from 1976 to 1979.

Career Mir-Salim served as the national police chief following the Iranian Revolution. He was proposed by then president Abulhassan Banisadr in July 1980 as a candidate for the prime minister as a compromise candidate acceptable to both Banisadr and the Majlis dominated by the Islamic Republican Party. However, Banisadr was pressured to accept Mohammad-Ali Rajai instead. From 1981 to 1989, Mir-Salim was the advisor to then president Ayatollah Khamenei. In the beginning of 1989, on the occasion of the death and funeral of Hirohito, the 124th Emperor of Japan who had ruled for over 60 years until he died on January 7, Mir-Salim and Hossein Saffar Harandi, a Member of Parliament and the Chairman of Parliament Committee on Agriculture, went to the Imperial Palace in Tokyo to attend the Rites of Imperial Funeral on February 24 with Mohammad Hossein Adeli, Ambassador Extraordinary Plenipotentiary in Japan, and his wife. Mir-Salim was appointed Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance in 1994. His tenure was characterized by a strongly conservative Islamist direction, aiming to stave off the "cultural onslaught" of Western culture and promote pious Islamic culture in its place, including through the use of repressive measures. The Ministry under his direction was particularly known for closing a number of reformist newspapers. He was later appointed to the Expediency Discernment Council. He is assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran.

Electoral history

Personal life According to Iranian Diplomacy, Mirsalim is married to an Iranian woman. He is fond of swimming and usually wears shenandoah beard, collarless tuxedos and dark calottes that serve as his signature look.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mostafa Mir-Salim

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mostafa Mir-Salim claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Mostafa Mir-Salim before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Mostafa Mir-Salim ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Mostafa Mir-Salim

In research: Mostafa Mir-Salim appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Mostafa Mir-Salim in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Mostafa Mir-Salim is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1947 births, 20th-century Iranian engineers, 20th-century Iranian politicians, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Mostafa Mir-Salim outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
