EDIT: Hushang Ansary (wiki) is still going at 94. From Wikipedia's Rastakhiz Party politicians category, not so notable but most held positions in the govt: Mahnaz Afkhami (1940-) Minister without portfolio for women's affairs 1975-1978. Sounds slightly frail in an interview from a year ago but still sharp. Manouchehr Ganji (1931-) Minister for Education 1971-1979. There's been atleast seven attempts on his life. Can't find anything about him from the last two years with a quick search. Reza Ghotbi (1940-) Head of the National Iranian Radio and Television in the 70s.
