1848-09-12 — The accession of Násiri'd-Dín Sháh at Tabríz. [BBR482] He was 17 years old. [BBR158; GPB37] He ruled from 1848 to 1 May 1896 when he was assassinated on the eve of his jubilee. [BBD168; BBR482] The first four years of his reign were marked by the `fiercest and bloodiest of the persecutions of the religion of the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh'. During the whole of his reign there were `sporadic persecutions and, in at least some cases, he himself was directly responsible for the death of the martyrs'. [BBR157] For the first time in the Faith's history the civil and ecclesiastical powers banded together in a systematic campaign against it, one that was to `culminate in the horrors experienced by Bahá'u'lláh in the Síyáh-Chál' and `His subsequent banishment to Iraq'. [GPB37] See BBRSM25 for an explanation of why the Bábí religion was a challenge to the secular regime. See SB86 for a reason for Násiri'd-Dín Sháh's cruelty towards the Bábís and Bahá'ís. See RB3:201 for an explanation of his lengthy reign. He chose as his prime minister Mírzá Taqí Khán-i-Faráhání, known as a great reformer and a founder of modern Iran. [BBD221; BBR160] It was not until the spring of 1849 that the new regime was in firm control. His reform antagonized many and a coalition was formed against him. One of the most active proponents was the queen mother. She convinced the Shah that the prime minister wanted his throne. In October of 1851 the Shah dismissed him and exiled him to Kashan where he was murdered on the Shah's orders. 1848-10-19 — Entry of Násiri'd-Dín Sháh into Tihrán. [BBR482] MH240 says it took him 45 days to travel to Tihrán to occupy his father's throne. Hájí Mírzá Áaqsí Khán-i-Faráhání took up post as his prime minister. [BBR482] By the end of 1848 the governmental opposition to the Báb continued and intensified. Encouraged by the ulama (religious leaders), the public increasingly turned against the Báb and His followers and the Bábis "were held responsible for the country's general state of turmoil." [RR395]
