Ashraf Pahlavi died on January 7, 2016, at the age of 96, in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Her passing marked the end of an era for many who remembered the Pahlavi dynasty—either with nostalgia or resentment. She was buried alongside other members of the Pahlavi family, far from the country she once helped to govern, leaving behind a legacy that continues to stir debate and among the diaspora.
