During the 1980s Taskhiri served as the Iranian representative to the Organization of the Islamic Conference and was involved in promoting Iranian interests during the height of the Iran-Iraq War.
His role, while always significant in the government of Iran, became even more so after the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. Taskhiri was born in Iraq and has been an important liaison with Shia Iraqi organizations and in addition was perhaps the most prominent Shia signatory to an intellectual letter from 38 Muslim scholars sent as the official Islamic response to Islamophobic comments made by Pope Benedict XVI on September 12, 2006. He's the head of Islamic culture and communications organization in Iran.
