Early life

Jahanbani was born on 27 February 1941 and was the youngest son of Iranian general Amanullah Jahanbani, great grandson of Fath Ali Shah.[1] His mother, Helen Kasminsky, was from the Russian aristocracy in Petrograd.[1] His grandfather served as governor of Azerbaijan.[1] He was the younger brother of Nader Jahanbani who was executed in February 1979 after the Iranian revolution.[1]

Personal life and death

Jahanbani was married to Shahnaz Pahlavi, the eldest daughter of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi.[2] They married at the Iranian Embassy in Paris in February 1971.[1] In a publication of the Islamic Republic of Iran it is argued that the marriage was not supported by Shahnaz Pahlavi's father, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.[3]
