CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted January 8, 2017 He's the first Iranian president to die. Before 1980 there were only prime ministers and the last one I remember died was Jamshid Amouzegar. Not quite .The 2nd president was assassinated in 1981 after 4 weeks in office. He is the first current or former post revolution Iranian leader to die since Ayatollah Khomeni in 1989 though, and the most significant political figure to die since then I would say.

Not at all, but just a glance at the forum would have shown the Peter Sarstedt thread just a few topics below this one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but at the risk of always banging the same drum, I think all deaths should be recorded in the year thread, regardless of whether they are posted elsewhere. Then the "Dead Of XXXX" would be a complete one-stop compilation. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YES!!, That way people can see it, if they overlook, or flat out, just don't look at the other threads, that the deaths could be placed in. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted January 8, 2017 This needs moving to the 'Let's Discuss if anyone dies in 2017 whether they should go on the Dead of 2017 thread' thread. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,940 Posted January 8, 2017 My two tuppence, if you want a list of everyone who's died in 2017 then use Wikipedia or create one. The Dead of 2017 should be for reporting deaths that don't fit elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
