Inside Rafsanjani’s Modest Tehran Home: A Simple Haft-Sin and Wooden Chairs Capture Public

According to Saed News, new photos circulating online reveal the understated decor of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani’s family residence in Tehran, drawing attention for its simplicity and lack of ostentation. The images, shared around the Persian New Year, highlight a tastefully arranged Haft-Sin table—an essential Nowruz tradition—curated by Rafsanjani’s wife, long admired for her elegance and restraint.

The home features machine-made carpets, wooden chairs, and modest lighting, a striking contrast to the lavish interiors often associated with political elites. The images serve as a quiet testament to the Rafsanjani family’s reputed frugality, echoing the former president’s public image as a pragmatic statesman with revolutionary roots and conservative personal habits.

While Rafsanjani, who died in 2017, remains a controversial figure in Iran’s post-revolution history—praised by some for his economic vision and vilified by others for his political maneuvering—the subdued aesthetic of his family’s home appears to resonate across the political spectrum.

The photo has reignited discussions around authenticity, legacy, and lifestyle in the upper echelons of the Islamic Republic. In a political climate often marred by allegations of corruption and elite privilege, such visual cues offer a rare, humanizing window into the private world of one of Iran’s most consequential statesmen.
