History
The postal service in Iran was handled by a bureau before 1876 and all postal affairs have were done by a bureau. In the same year that it was formed, it showed success in terms of social and monetary value and then in the same year this bureau converted into a full Ministry by the ordered issued by Naser-aldin Shah. The order stated that, Amin-almolk, the Minister of Tasks and Council, be selected for executing the operations (postal services) of Ministry of ICT. After a year working as a Minister of ICT, in 1877, he resigned from the Ministry of Tasks And Council & decided to dedicate more of his time to the Ministry of ICT. During the 19th century, this ministry was administered by Amin-almolk, as the minister and Mirza Rahim as the deputy Minister of ICT.
In 1882, a book was published (lithographed booklet named "the Tariff of the Great Post Office of Iran"). It displayed maps of the telegram offices, post offices, pony post roads and postal network in the 19th-century Iran. That booklet talked about Iran having seven main and five secondary postal lines. After the late 1800s, there were no major revision to Iranian Ministry of the Post, other than the normal organizational and structural changes. After the presidency of Amir Kabir, new renovations appeared in the post of Iran. The posts during the era of Imperialists suspended the extracurricular activities were in suspension and the postal services became fast, according to the Amir Kabir"s discipline.
The Postal services Ministry had an organization restructuring in 1906. Telegraph bureau was put under the administration of the Postal ministry and the Ministry of Post and Telegraph formed. The first telephone patent assigned to Basir-ol-mamalek in 1900 and since then the telephone services started working in Tehran. In 1929, the Ministry of Postal and Telegraph offered a proposal to the parliament for purchasing the stocks of the only Telephone Company. Then the Ministry of Post, Telegraph, and Telephone was formed after the government purchased the stocks of the only Telephone Company.
