5 August 1950 5 February 1953 2 years, 184 days Revolutionary Masses Party Ali Sattari had previously served as Supreme Commander of the Revolutionary Resistance, leading Pardarian nationalists in the Khordad Rebellion against Etruria. His defeat saw his exile to Xiaodong between 1922 and 1928 before returning to lead the Pardarian Revolutionary Resistance Command in the Pardarian Uprising. His leadership of the PRRC in the Pardarian Civil War saw the establishment of the National Republic in 1950 and the emergence of Sattarism as the guiding ideology. Despite initial opposition to the Pan-Zorasanist wing of the RMP, Sattari gave into popular pressure following the Khazi Revolution, and authorised the unification of Khazestan and Pardaran. He is revered as the founding father of the modern-day Union of Zorasani Irfanic Republics.

(1894-1956)
3 January 1956 20 July 1956 199 days Revolutionary Masses Party Khalatbari was appointed Supreme Leader of the Union on an interim basis in wake of the death of Ali Sattari. His lack of charisma and firm connections saw his failure to secure an immediate "coronation" as the formal head of state. In response he repeatedly delayed the necessary Revolutionary Command Congress which would elect a new head of state, which further degraded his support. Under pressure from regime elites, he gave way to a Congress, where he lost decisively to Ali Sayyad Gharazi on 20 April 1953. Gharazi and his allies then launched the Corrective Revolution, which saw Khalatbari and his allies expelled from the party and ultimately imprisoned. Khalatbari died in prison on 3 February 1956.
