Mohammad Jahromi or Ali Naghi Jahromi (born 1958) is a former Iranian governor and politician who served as minister of labor and social affairs from 2005 to 2009.
Jahromi was born in Tehran in 1958. He holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics. He also received a PhD in strategic management.
Jahromi was the deputy chairman for executive affairs of the Guardian Council. He was also one of the founding members of the IRGC in the provinces of Gilan and Mazandaran in 1979. He acted as an IRGC commander in Noor. In addition, he served as the governor of different provinces, including Zanjan (1982-1984), Lorestan (1984-1989) and Semnan (1984-1999). He was among the members of secretariat of the State Expediency Council.
On 24 August 2005, he became the minister of labor and social affairs in the first cabinet of Mahmoud Ahmedinejad. He was approved by the Majlis with 197 votes in favor. During his tenure, he was considered to be the economic spokesperson of the government. In the late 2008, he announced his candidacy for the presidential election of 2009. He was succeeded by Reza Sheykholeslam in August 2009 as minister of labor and social affairs.
Immediately after his removal from office, Jahromi was appointed deputy of the judiciary chief, Sadeq Larijani, in August 2009. Next Jahromi was named chief of the state-run Bank Saderat. He was removed from office in September 2011 due to the Bank's alleged connection to the embezzlement of nearly $3 billion.
Jahromi was sanctioned by the European Union on 1 December 2011 due to his presidency at the Saderat Bank, which was also sanctioned by the Union. He was omitted from the sanction list in October 2012.
