Life

[edit]

Rahmani was born in Tabriz. He is a member of the 7th, 8th and 9th Islamic Consultative Assembly from the electorate of Tabriz, Osku and Azarshahr with Alireza Mondi Sefidan, Masoud Pezeshkian, Mir-Hadi Gharaseyyed Romiani, Mohammad Hosein Farhanghi and Mohammad Esmaeil Saeidi.[1] Rahmani won with 125,037 (39.95%) votes.

In March 2020, after the COVID-19 pandemic became known to have spread to Iran, the Ministry of Industry said that Reza Rahmani was hospitalised in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Tehran due to "chemical injuries" although Iranian media had reported that he had been infected with novel coronavirus.[2] On 11 March, his infection was confirmed by semi-official Fars News Agency.[3] On 11 March, it was stated that Rahmani was believed to have recovered after receiving treatment in hospital.[4]
