Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani (Persian: اکبر هاشمی رفسنجانی), or Hashemi Bahramani (هاشمی بهرمانی), born 25 August 1934) is an influential Iranian politician and writer, who was the fourth president of Iran. He was the head of the Assembly of Experts from 2007 till 2011 when he decided not to nominate himself for the post. He is also the chairman of the Expediency Discernment Council of Iran.
During the Iran–Iraq War Rafsanjani was the de facto commander-in-chief of the Iranian military. Rafsanjani was elected chairman of the Iranian parliament in 1980 and served until 1989. Rafsanjani also served as president of Iran from 1989 to 1997. He played an important role in the choice of Ali Khamenei as Supreme Leader. In 2005 he ran for a third term in office, placing first in the first round of elections but ultimately losing to rival Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the run-off round of the 2005 election.
Rafsanjani has been described as a centrist and a pragmatic conservative. He supports a free market position domestically, favoring privatization of state-owned industries, and a moderate position internationally, seeking to avoid conflict with the United States and the West.

June 23, 2020 Faezeh Hashemi Rafsanjani, a member of a family long considered a pillar of the Islamic Republic of Iran, became a prisoner of conscience in that regime and is now a defender of equal rights for women—one of the many fascinating transformations in Iran in recent years. She discusses the evolution and future of the women’s rights movement in Iran. The conversation is live-translated from Persian/Farsi to English. An active Iranian women’s rights activist, Ms. Rafsanjani was the founder and publisher of Zan—the first publication after the 1979 revolution dedicated to the cause of women—and is acclaimed for her role in preserving women’s athletics from the onslaught of conservative clergy. She earned a Master of Laws degree in international human rights from Birmingham City Un...

For decades Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani was at the centre of iranian political life, before and after serving as president in the 1990s.
Tens of thousands of mourners gathered in Tehran to pay their last respects to the former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani on Tuesday. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, incumbent President Hassan Rouhani and other senior officials were among the funeral prayers at the Tehran University campus.

(5 Dec 2013) Iraq's prime minister Nouri al-Maliki met with the head of Iran's Expediency Council Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani on the second day of his visit to Tehran. It is Maliki's first trip to Iran since President Hassan Rouhani came into office in August. His visit will focus on the civil war in Syria and bilateral ties. Iran and Iraq, two Shiite-majority countries, have enjoyed close relations since the late Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was overthrown following the 2003 US-led invasion.

While India showed due deference to the visiting Iranian leader by going beyond the protocol organizing as addressed to the Parliament as well as a public rally at Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh Mr. Rafsanjani on his part was quite fourth coming in stating that Indo-Iranian ties would not be affected by the Jammu and Kashmir dispute or the Babri Masjid issue. Observers attach great importance to the fact that Mr. Rafsanjani commended India's treatment of all it's religious communities including the minorities. It is also significant that in answer to a question about the disputed structure in Ayodhya, the Iranian leader categorically declared that there is no need for any further propaganda about the matter. Likewise, on the Kashmir issue, he retorted what incidentally has been India's consiste...
Former Iranian president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a pugnacious moderate who survived for decades despite challenging his own turbaned elite, died after suffering a heart attack.
Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani has been described as a pillar of the Islamic Revolution and a Sheikh of moderation in Iran. His death at the age of 82 raises questions about what direction the country is now likely to head. Rafsanjani started out as a hardliner, serving as an aide to Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini, the leader of the 1979 revolution. But he moved to the centre, favouring better ties with the West, and believing Tehran should open up more to the world. His passing leaves a void. He was seen as a supporter of the reformist movement. Without him, it's believed some of the progress made may be lost.

Andy: Well. All right. Well. Umm. Well. Hey, let's get started. Uh... sorry my notes are... you know a little scattered here... uh... you'll have to forgive me.
David: Mhm.
Andy: Uhmm... I gotta admit I... I really don't know much about... you know... you... you, or the band... but I've got some friends that are big fans and um...
David: Right.
Andy: but... uh... anyway... um... alright. Well. Ok. So here we go. Um... so your new CD is titled a collision, or... um...3 + 4 = 7 that's... that's interesting. You know the... the...
David: mmhmm.
Andy: ...whole double title thing.
David: yeah.
Andy: uhmm lets see... uh... and the atom on the cover that's pretty
David: uh huh.
Andy: cool. I was... I mean... I was never all that great in science and. and math wasn't really my... my specialty... which is... which is I guess, you know, why I'm a writer now. But uh...
David: mmhmm.
Andy: ...anyway um...
David: ok.
Andy: ok. So uh... it... I don't know... is that... it's like with the cover... is that a metaphor or... uh... I mean is it metaphorical for something or like, or is it...
David: well...
Andy: ...just pretty or...
David: ...nah. Well I mean. Yeah. The... uh... atom, it's not really... I mean it's a symbol. You see that and you think atom. It shows electrons moving in elliptical paths around a nucleus and all... we know...
Andy: mmhmm.
David: ...that's... that's not how an atom works. Or... or looks even, for that matter...
Andy: ok.
David: ...and so... and so that's why it was appropriate for the cover, you know...
Andy: right. Uhmm. Ok. Yeah. I'm not really sure I see the connection. But...
David: ...well... and what we mean to say is that the elements of worship are inadequate, much like the atom depiction. But this is what we have you know? It helps us carry the idea.
Andy: mmhmm. Mmhmm. Uhmm. Ok. Uh. Tell... ok... what's the deal with these little songs between the real... you know, the real songs? Like are they significant? Uhmm... is there like a theme of the album? Or are they creating space? Like what's... going on there?
David: uhmm. I don't...
Andy: ok. Uhmm. So you know I hear there's this really spectacular ending to... to the record is that true?
David: we'll have to wait and see on that.
Andy: swell.
David: it does swell.
Andy: wait... uh it... wait... hold on... it does well?
David: no. It swells.
Andy: oh. Right. It swells. Uhmm. Ok. Well. And so the end starts with this... this piece called “the lark ascending.” Uhmm now what is... what is the lark? Is that... is that also a metaphor for something?
David: uhmm. I gue... I mean I guess. I just... I don't think... I don't think you should read too much into any of this you know? Its... I mean the lark ascending was written... it was a piece written by Vaughn Williams who died in 1958, and uh, the work opens with this calm set of sustained chords and then (coughs) sorry. Excuse me. And uhmm. Anyway and so then the violin enters as the lark and it... it starts with this series of ascending and repeated intervals and this... these nimble then elongated arpeggios. Uhmm. And he actually found inspiration in a work by the English poet George Meredith who died in 1909 and the composer included a portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...
Andy: wait uh...
David: ...of the published work
Andy: ...hold on wait...
David: ...uhmm...
Andy: ...why do you keep mentioning...
David: ...and it...
Andy: ...the year they died?
David: ...well it went... and it went like this it says uh...
“He rises and begins to round,
He drops the silver chain of sound,
Of many links without a break,
In chirrup, whistle, slur and shake.
For singing till his heaven fills,
‘Tis love of earth that he instills,
And ever winging up and up,
Our valley is his golden cup
And he the wine which overflows
To lift us with him as he goes.
Till lost on his aerial rings
In light, and then the fancy sings.”
Andy: huh. Wow. That's nice. But I mean... but who is the lark?
David: I don't know.
Andy: sorry. I think i've got the wrong page. Uhmm. The script you gave me says something different. It says, “you are.”
David: yeah but I don't... I don't feel like the lark much of the time and uhmm there are other larks for me you know?
Andy: wait a second. Ok. So correct me if I'm wrong but uhmm...
David: yeah.
Andy: ...in the script I have you're...
David: right.
Andy: ...making a point that art does this...
David: right.
Andy: ...you know the whole, “it rises on wing from earth to fill the heavens...
David: yes.
Andy: ...pulling the rest of us with it. That as the lark rises so do we.”
David: right. I'm unsure.
Andy: but. Uh. Hold on. I mean... it... it says so right here.
David: yeah. Uhmm. But the ground pulls at my feet.
Andy: hold... hold on just a second. Uh but I mean what about the number 7?
David: did you ever notice that the sky is all the way to the ground?
Andy: wait. Hold on. What?
