Jahangir Razmi (Persian: جهانگیر رزمی; born December 16, 1947, in Arak, Iran[1]) is an Iranian photographer and the author of the entry that won the 1980 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography. His photograph, Firing Squad in Iran, was taken on August 27, 1979, and published anonymously in the Iranian daily Ettela'at, the oldest still running newspaper in Iran. Days later, it appeared on the front pages of numerous newspapers around the world. The photograph was the only anonymous winner of a Pulitzer Prize in the 90-year history of the award, as the revelation that Razmi was the photographer was not disclosed until 2006.[2] He was finally able to receive the award in person at the 2007 Pulitzer Prizes ceremony in New York City.[3]
