A relative of Maryam Salari’s and board member of Airsa Vision Parsian who is on the board of at least one other company connected to Yaser Hashemi and Maryam Salari’s network. Hamed Hashemi and Sima Farshchi (also a board member) established an import-export company on Qashem Island called Maysa Sanaat Jonob Qashem.
Established in September 2019, this charity describes itself as a “non-political, not-for-profit, and non-governmental institute” that is focused on “healthcare.” The company’s board of directors consists of Yaser Hashemi, Maryam Salari, Leili Hashemi (daughter of Yaser Hashemi), Mahmoud Salari (father-in-law of Yaser Hashemi), and Massoud Khalili.
Board member of Raha Mehr Vatan Charity who was also one of the founders of Iranian Equestrian Industry Co. and represented the interests of the Equestrian Federation of Iran on its board of directors.
The youngest son of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, age 50, married to Maryam Salari. They have one daughter, Leili, who is married to Mohammad Mahdi Sanei Taheri.
Yaser was one of his father’s chiefs of staff at the Expediency Council. After Rafsanjani’s death, Yaser’s office was sealed shut and he was effectively purged from the EC. Yaser was reportedly also chief of staff of Azad University’s board of trustees. Rafsanjani’s archived website states that Yaser was once in the business of cheese imports.
According to a 2003 article in Forbes, “Yaser owns a 30-acre horse farm in the super fashionable Lavasan neighborhood of north Tehran, where land goes for over $4 million an acre. Just where did Yaser get his money? A Belgian-educated businessman, he runs a large export-import firm that includes baby food, bottled water and industrial machinery.”
