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 Qajar.[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][2]
