Family Ties: Rare Photos of Rafsanjani’s Grandchildren Surface Online

According to Saed News, a series of photographs showing Mona and Hassan, the daughter and son of Fa’ezeh Hashemi, alongside their grandfather, the late President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, and their uncle Mohsen Hashemi, has drawn attention across Iranian media platforms. The candid images offer a personal glimpse into a family that has long occupied a central role in Iran’s political and revolutionary narrative.

Fa’ezeh Hashemi, a former parliamentarian and outspoken political activist, has frequently been in the public eye for her reformist stances and controversial commentary. Her lineage—daughter of Rafsanjani, one of the Islamic Republic’s founding figures—has both amplified her visibility and complicated her political journey. The release of these images comes at a time when intergenerational influence in Iranian politics remains a subject of scrutiny and fascination.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who served as president from 1989 to 1997, remains a complex legacy figure—credited with steering Iran’s post-war reconstruction and also criticized by both conservative and reformist camps. His descendants, including Fa’ezeh and her children, continue to symbolize the enduring, if contested, relevance of political aristocracy in the Islamic Republic.

The photos, though devoid of explicit political messaging, carry subtle resonance: they remind viewers of the human faces behind a storied name, and the familial dimensions that persist in Iran’s elite political circles.
