According to Tehran Governor General Morteza Tamaddon, 3,715 hopefuls registered for the city council elections in Tehran.
Another son of the former Iranian president Hashemi Rafsanjani, Mehdi Hashemi, is being accused of corruption and country's security breach.

Like his father and sister, Hashemi is a fierce critic of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
