Notable people
The Iranian politician Mohammad Mosaddegh spent his days of exile in his estates and is buried under his dining room. The compound has been subjected to serious deterioration, due to newly imposed government restrictions.
There was previously a high school named after Mossadegh, called Mossadegh High School, by popular vote during the Iranian Revolution in the late 1970s. However, it was renamed following the denunciations made against Mossadegh by Ayatollah Khomeini. The place now stands as Emam Khomeini High School.[citation needed]
