Fatemeh Hashemi Bahramani

Fatemeh, 60, is married to dentist Saeed Lahouti Eshkevari—brother of her sister Faezeh’s husband—and together they have two children, Ali and Sara. She has a degree in political science from Islamic Azad University.

Fatemeh was once stricken by a mysterious illness for which she went to Canada for treatment, according to her father’s memoirs. She also sought treatment in the UK.

She headed the Iranian Women’s Solidarity Association, a position that enabled her to travel around the globe. She used her father’s position as president to secure funds for her various projects and in obtaining things like a Xerox machine and heaters for her office.

Fatemeh founded the Moderation and Development Party in 2001 along with several individuals close to Rafsanjni such as Akbar Torkan, the defense minister in Rafsanjani’s first administration. Hassan Rouhani was the party’s candidate during his successful 2013 and 2016 campaigns for the presidency.
