Zohreh Sadeghi

In 1999, together with wives of other government officials, Sadeghi founded the Behafarin Farda charity entity and serves as its president.^[1]

Her most important political presence was in 2008 and during the Gaza War. Ten days before Azam Farahi wrote a letter to the First Lady of Egypt Suzanne Mubarak, Sadeghi got in contact with Moza bint Nasser to call on governments and nations to support the Palestinian people.^[2]

She has been vocal about her support of women's rights in Iran, citing discrimination against women as a serious obstacle to achieving hidden potentials.^[3][4]

Sadeghi's mother was the sister of Musa al-Sadr. Her father Ali Akbar Sadeghi was a lecturer at Shahid Beheshti University for 38 years and died in 2014. Sadeq Tabatabaei and Fatemeh Tabatabaei (wife of Ahmad Khomeini) were Zohreh Sadeghi's maternal first cousins.^[1]

Sadeghi married Mohammad Khatami in 1974. The couple have two daughters and one son: Laila (born 1975), Narges (born 1980), and Emad (born 1988). All their children are reported to be living outside Iran.^[1]
