Ashraf Pahlavi (right), the twin sister of the Shah, is now 94 years old. She was photographed recently with Ardeshir Zahedi, 85, son of the general who helped topple Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh and the monarchy’s last ambassador to the United States. This photo was carried by the Fars news agency, which did not say where it was taken or how the agency obtained it. Ashraf has lived in seclusion for security reasons—she is the Pahlavi most hated by the revolutionary regime—for decades and has not been seen in public since 1981. It is not even known for certain where she resides, with various reports putting her in Paris and New York. Zahedi has lived for decades in Montreux, Switzerland.
