Mosa Kalantari (Persian: موسی کلانتری; born 1949 in Marand — assassinated 1981 in Tehran) was an Iranian politician and former cabinet minister in the government of Abolhassan Banisadr. Kalantari died in a terrorist attack on 28 June 1981, when a bomb exploded during a party conference (Hafte tir bombing) killing him and 32 other leading politicians. The Islamic Republic first claimed the bomb was planted by the Tudeh Party, although the assassin was later identified as Mohammad Reza Kolahi of the People's Mujahedin of Iran.
