Born in Tehran and raised in poor circumstances. He trained in a makeshift
sports hall until he left Tehran to work as an oilworker. After being drafted
into the army he was introduced to freestyle wrestling, He won his first
Iranian championship in 1950, and became the first Iranian wrestler to win
an international medal when he gained silver in the World Championships at
Helsinki in 1951, followed by silver at the Helsinki Olympics. Later he won
gold in the 1956 Olympics and the 1959 World championships.
Although Tahkti competed unsuccessfully at the 1964 Olympics and 1966 World
championships this was due to his being chosen for adverse political reasons.
Although he had retired from competition the government of the time attempted
to discredit him in the eyes of the people (with whom he was extremely popular,
particularly from an anti-government stance) by sending him to certain defeat.
although he lost in competition his popularity was not diminished.
His mysterious death in 1967 was "officially" listed as suicide but the popular
opinion was one of political assasination by government forces.
