Dariush Forouhar (Persian: داریوش فروهر; 18 August [citation needed] 1928 – 22 November 1998) was an Iranian pan-Iranist politician and leader of Nation Party of Iran. In 1998, he and his wife were stabbed to death in their home and both among the victims of the chain murders of Iran .
The term "chain murders" was first used to describe the murder of six people in late 1998. The first two killed were 70-year-old Dariush Forouhar (secretary general of the opposition party, the Nation of Iran Party), and his wife Parvaneh Eskandari, whose mutilated bodies were found in their south Tehran home on 22 November 1998.
Parvaneh Forouhar was Dariush Forouhar's wife. When they married, their witness in absentia was Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh and the clergyman marrying the couple was Ayatollah Zanjani. She became a member of the Party of the Iranian Nation when she was a university student, launching an anti-Shah campaign alongside her husband.
Founded in 1951 by Dariush Forouhar, the party had a few hundred members, mostly high-school students, and was a member of National Front until the Iranian Revolution; however, it did not carry much weight in the leadership of the front. [2]
