Tajzadeh’s family comes from Harand in Isfahan province. But he was born in Tehran in 1956, the third child of six. He says he received his high school diploma in 1975 and the same year went to the US to study. However, in the late summer of 1978 when tremors of the upcoming revolution were already shaking the country, he returned with just three semesters of mechanical engineering under his belt. While in the US he joined the Iranian Students’ Islamic Society and was a founder of Falaq (“Daybreak”) group, which advocated armed uprising.
