Zarghami was born in Tehran in 1884.[1] His father was Hussein Pashakhan Zargham Al Saltanah, one of the leaders of the Shaqaqi tribe.[2] Zarghami trained at the Cossack school.[1] After serving in the gendarmerie unit of the Iranian Army he was named the chief of staff in 1934 which he held until 1941 when Reza Shah abdicated.[2] Later Zarghami served as the senator and governor of East Azerbaijan.[3]

In 1961 Zarghami and three other generals were arrested as part of the anti-corruption campaign of Prime Minister Ali Amini and were released soon.[4] Zarghami died in Tehran in 1978 and buried in Emamzadeh Abdollah, Tehran.[1] One of his children, Ezatullah Zarghami, was also an army officer with the rank of brigadier general.[5]
