According to Ali Rahnema, Riazi was "one of permanent and trusted figures" in the establishment, thus "experienced and adept at political correctness". Fakhreddin Azimi describes Riazi as having an "unquestioning deference toward the Shah", which "contrasted sharply with his disdainful attitude toward the deputies, whom he treated virtually as schoolchildren".
