Ayatollah Fesenjani (Rafsanjani) The Iranian Business Tycoon!
The Commander of Construction, Head of the Moderate Fraction of IRI (Kar Ghozaran). Fesenjan = A type of Persian food.

These are some of the political cartoons, which I had drawn between 1993 and 2002. They were published in various cartoon and caricature publications. At the time when the IRI terror of the exiled opposition was sky high and the suffocation of the inxiled press was choking the media, it was pretty bold to draw and publish these toons! At the time, these toons had made a lot of noise! The style is deliberately primitive because IRI in its nature is primitive! Please enjoy and Bon Appetite!
