Iran’s ex-President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a dominant figure in the country’s politics since the 1980s, has died at the age of 82, media say.
Mr Rafsanjani was taken to hospital on Sunday with a heart problem.
He served as president from 1989 to 1997 but lost to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he ran again in 2005.
Mr Rafsanjani’s current role was head of the Expediency Council, which tries to resolve disputes between parliament and the Guardian Council.
