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.

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. 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]

They had two children; a son, Keykhosrow, (born 20 November 1971) and a daughter, Fawzia, (born 1973).

Jahanbani died on 16 April 2014 after combatting cancer for several years.[4]

gollark: I see.
gollark: How well does your parser handle stuff like `<br>`?
gollark: To be honest Perl regexes probably can parse HTML, but they are also probably TC.
gollark: It encourages people to keep doing their silly standard-violating things because they technically *work*, and makes your parsing logic more complex and flaky.
gollark: And they *do* handle it, because at some point down the line someone thought making it compatible was better than encouraging people to NOT DO REALLY STUPID UNPARSEABLE THINGS.
